DO NOT TUMBLE-DRY When you start the tumble dryer the first time, or after a long period when it has not been in use, you may hear a light rumbling noise. This is quite normal and the sound will disappear after a few drying operations. Some fabrics are sensitive to tumble drying. Check the Recommended washing marking on the items concerned, and study Chapter 7, Before tumble drying. For brief operating instructions; see Chapter 16, Quick guide. 3 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL sing the main switch, , or by opening the · Study and save this Use and Care Guide for future reference. · Electrical installation, if required, must be carried out by an authorized electrician. · The machine may only be used for tumble drying in accordance with this Use and Care Guide. · Repairs and maintenance which affect safety or performance must be carried out by an authorized specialist. · Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by an authorised professional. · Sufficient ventilation is required to prevent smoke from open fires or fumes from equipment burning other fuels being sucked into the room.

Material which should not be tumbledried Items that are to be tumble dried should first be spin-dried, preferably at 800 revs per minute or more. Better spin drying saves both energy and drying time. RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING Material suitable for tumble drying This symbol indicates that the material will not withstand tumble-drying. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others will loose their shape or shrink. Do not tumble-dry... The symbol above indicates that the material can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on a line. NOTE · Materials that are marked "Do not dry close to heat". · Items that have been dry-cleaned at home. · Foam plastic. · Glass-fibre materials · Woollen items, because of the risk of felting. SORTING FABRICS Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is minimal. The lint caught in the lint filter consists of dust and fibre residue that has been formed when wearing the garments. Best results are obtained if all articles are of the same material. Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load and the temperature as shown in the table below. TYPE OF FABFIC LOAD TEMPERATURE White, coloured Cotton and and synthetic linen Polyester/ cotton Delicate and mild 1/1 (6.0 kg) 1/2 (3.0 kg) Normal Normal Low Acrylic, rayon, 1/2 (3.0 kg) acetate etc. Sort a suitable amount and type of fabric. 9 PROGRAMMES Your choice of programme will depend on what you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble drying. The available programmes are Extra dry, Dry, Normal dry, Iron dry, Timed dry and Air fluff. Extra dry When using a timed dry programme with mixed washing it may happen that some of the items will not be sufficiently dried. Such items can suitably by dried by running the timed programme for a further 10 minutes or so. Timed dry programmes automatically operates at temperature Low, but you can change it yourself to Normal. NOTE This programme is designed for washing that is extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very thick seams. NOTE Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink. Use the Dry, Normal dry or Iron dry programme for these materials. Always stretch garments out directly after drying. Dry, Normal dry When using a timed programme it is possible to over-dry fabrics if you set too long a time. This can cause fabrics to shrink or crease and feel rough. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static electricity. Set a shorter time if you tumble dry at temperature Normal. Air fluff These programmes turn off the heat when the washing is dry, but not bone-dry. The Dry programme turns off the heat a little later than Normal dry. Choose what you prefer by trial and error. Use these programmes when you want dry fabrics. Iron dry Use the air fluff programme just to shake dust out of garments, air them or soften them up. To select Timed dry or Air fluff , see Chapter 10, Making own drying programmes. OPTIONS Cooling This programme turns off the heat when the washing is just damp enough for ironing or mangling. Timed dry You can choose between Normal cooling and Quick cooling. Normal cooling lasts 20 minutes and Quick cooling lasts 5 minutes. Buzzer The programme length that you should choose depends on what you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble drying. Dry different times for different materials to find the right combination. The machine offers you the possibility of hearing when the cooling period ends. Set the option Buzzer ON and it will sound for three seconds when the programme is completed. 10 Anti-crease programme DRYING TIME Using the Anti-crease programme you can prevent garments from lying still and becoming unnecessarily creased at the end of tumble drying. This is a helpful option if you cannot take out garments promptly at the end of the tumbling phase. You can choose a programme duration of 1, 2 or 3 hours. The drum will then continue to rotate intermittently, ie, three seconds every minute for the number of hours chosen. If you choose Buzzer ON, a signal will sound each time the drum rotates. To choose these options, see Chapter 10, Making own drying programmes. TEMPERATURE You can choose temperature Normal or Low, see chapter 10, Making own drying programmes. The drying time may be influenced by a number of factors, such as the size of the load, the program selected, the moisture content of the load, the materials being washed, connection capacity and the ambient temperature and humidity. Drying time remaining is calculated within four minutes of the start of the drying program. The estimated time is shown in the bottom righthand corner of the display, together with the ­ symbol. If the actual drying time is less than that calculated, the time display may jump ahead, e.g. from 50 to 20 minutes, at the end of the program. If the actual drying time is longer than that calculated, the countdown will stop at the end of the progam until the load is dry. Please note that times include a cooling period. 11 8 TUMBLE DRY TUMBLE DRYING WITH EASY CONTROL Easy tumble drying by pushing a few buttons Your tumble dryer works like a radio with preset tuning. Instead of radio stations, however, you select your preferred drying programme in this case. We have preset the P1 - P4 buttons with four common programmes.
