DRYING HINTS

PREPARING THE DRYING CYCLE

As a dryer, the appliance works on the con- densation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water in- to a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, re- duce the loads of washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.

LAUNDRY NOT SUITABLE FOR DRYING

Particularly delicate items such as syn- thetic curtains, woollen and silk, gar- ments with metal inserts, nylon stock- ings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and du- vets must not be machine dried.

Avoid drying dark clothes with light col- oured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

Remove the laundry when the appliance 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.

Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recom- mendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de- tergent dispenser drawer.
