Tumble-drying

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumble- drying results.

1 Sort your fabrics

You will achieve the most uniform dry- ing results if the items are the same material.

Do up zips and buttons, fasten belts, sort the items and adjust load and temperature.

2Turn on the main power switch

3Open the door, load the items and then close the door

4 Select programme

The choice of programme depends on what you intend to do with the items after tumbling. The programme

options are Extra Dry, Dry, Normal Dry, Iron Dry, Timed programme and Airing.

Extra Dry

This programme is for items that are par- ticularly difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very thick seams.

Note!

Knit fabrics in particular are prone to shrink- age. Use the Dry, Normal Dry or Iron Dry programmes for such items. Stretch clothes back into shape immediately after drying.

Dry, Normal Dry

These programmes shut off the heat once the load is dry without being “bone-dry”. The Dry programme shuts off the heat slightly later than Normal Dry. Use trial and error to find out what works best. Use these programmes when you want items to be completely dry.

Iron Dry

This programme shuts off the heat once the load is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Timed dry 60 min

The Timed dry programme has a fixed dry- ing time and tumble-dries the load for 60 minutes.

Air fluff 60 min

Use the Air fluff programme when you just want to refresh, air or soften up items.

5 Select options

By selecting options, you can tailor drying programmes to suit your own laundry requirements. The machine

remembers which settings and options you choose for each pro-

gramme and uses these (with one exception

- Delayed Start) the next time you select the pro- gramme in question.You can, of course, change

them again if you wish.

Low Temperature

Select or deselect Low Temperature by pressing the Temperature button.

Once Low Temperature has been selected, the red field next to the button lights up.

Anti-crease

This option means that the drum will rotate three seconds per minute for two hours once the drying programme has finished. This option prevents the items remaining in the same position and becoming creased. A useful feature if you are not able to re- move the load as soon as tumble-drying has finished.

A lighted red field by the button indicates that the Anti-crease option has been acti- vated.
