P0305

2. Select the required option

Depress Half Heat or Fresh & Cool, if desired.

3. Select time

Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

Always follow the instructions on garment labels.

M0016S

Turn the selector dial clockwise to the required minute setting (in the high or low temperature range, according to the fabric): the mains-on light illuminates and the machine starts operating.

Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent

 

small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close

 

press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron

 

strings.

Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying

 

required.

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

 

saves energy.

Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy

 

items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

4. When drying is completed

The machine stops automatically, the mains-on light goes out.

If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 10 minutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-crease treatment phase.

When the programme has finished you are advised to unplug the appliance.

Clean the filter after every drying programme. A clean filter ensures correct functioning of the appliance.

Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished

drying.

To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use

either a fabric softener when you are washing the

laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble

dryers.

Laundry Shrinkage

Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are generally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the structure of some woollen garments which are recommended for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur, but once the garment is worn again, it should regain its shape.

Starched Laundry

Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry. After completion of the programme wipe out the drum with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of starch.
