Choosing a programme

1.Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.

2.Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see Laundry).

3.Open the door and make sure the filter is clean and in place (see Maintenance).

4.Load the machine and make sure items are not in the way of the door seal. Close the door.

5.If the On/Off light is not lit: Press the ON/OFF button .

6.Choose a programme by checking the Programmes Guide (see Programmes) as well as the indications for each type of fabric (see Laundry).

- Select a programme by rotating the PROGRAMMES knob clockwise.

7.Set a delay time and other options if necessary.

8.If you wish to select the buzzer sound, at the end of the programme, press the ALARM Option button.

During the drying programme, you can check on your laundry and take out items that are dry while others continue drying. When you close the door again, press the START button in order to resume drying.

Description

 

Easy Iron Programme

‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.

!‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1.Do not load more than the maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric

Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures

2.5kg

Synthetics

2kg

Denim

2kg

2.Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Wool Programme

This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol .

It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).

We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

This programme will take about 20 to 40 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.

!Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size and shape.

!This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.
