Electrolux 56800 manual Before the first drying cycle, Sorting and preparing laundry

Before the first drying cycle

In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a brief drying cycle (20 MIN) with damp cloths.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

•Sort by fabric type:

–Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.

–Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES pro- gramme group.

•Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

n	m	l	k
Basic drying	Drying	Drying	Drying
		at reduced temperature
in tumble	at normal		in tumble dryer
		(press SPECIAL CARE
dryer possible	temperature		not possible
		button!)

•Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laun- dry items. Textile colours may bleed.

•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items may become stuck!

•Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-dry- ing, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.

Preparing laundry

•To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

•Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).

•Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton- lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
