ITEMS UNSUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING

• Do not tumble dry fabrics if the care label states that tumble drying is not suitable. These may
include items made from silk, wool, wool blends, leather, lace or hemp. These fabrics may shrink,
deform or fade. The same applies to items with printing or glued emblems which may fade or
separate.
• Non breathable fabrics, materials or items such as rain coats, leather, glued clothes, quilts, mats,
carpet, stuffed cushions and toys are unsuitable for tumble drying.

CHOICE OF OPERATING MODES AND CYCLES

Four operating modes are available as follows:
GENERAL: During the 'General' mode the gas dryer operates at full drying capacity.
7
THICK: During the 'Thick' mode the gas dryer operates for longer than in the general or delicate
8
modes.
EXTRA SOFT: This mode applies in conjunction with GENERAL
9
When selected, the drying function stops intermittently. The drum stops rotating and cool air is blown
into the drying drum momentarily for 12 seconds every 4 minutes for a total cycle time of up to 120
minutes. This results in fabric that feels softer.
DELICATE: During the 'Delicate' mode the gas dryer operates at approximately half the drying
10
capacity.
i
If the dryer door is opened during an operation cycle, the 'Extra Soft' function is
cancelled. There is no gas consumption during 'Extra Soft' operation.
