Start and Programmes

Wool Programme

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

GB

.

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 60 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.

Delicates

This is a programme for drying your delicate clothes ie. Acrylics.

It can be used for load sizes up to 2kg.

The duration of this programme will depend 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 use, but on some garments the edges may be slightly damp. If this is the case, try opening them out or turn items inside out and running the programme again for a short period.

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®.

Refresh

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

It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.

Do not overload your dryer (see Laundry).

This is a 20 minute programme that airs your clothes with cool air. Also use to cool warm clothes.
