Items Not Suitable for Tumble Drying:

●Garments with the ITCL code -

DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.

●Woollens.

●Large bulky items eg. quilts, bedspreads, pillows etc... expand when dry, preventing air flow through the appliance.

●Items containing plastic film, foam rubber or rubber like materials eg. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear or inflammable articles which contain inflammable substances eg. towels contaminated with hair lacquer

●Fibreglass (eg. some types of curtains).

●Items which have been dry cleaned.

Synthetic	F,G & H	2kg max.	Short	Low	80	90
			Short	Low	40-50	60

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’ phase at the end of each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, this should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. If clothes are subjected to extreme drying the tend to wrinkle and consequently need more ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’ phase is complete.

This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.

NOTE: After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’ load, or if you have used the appliance as a dryer only, remove the load then run a ‘rinse and spin’ cycle to flush fluff out of the pipes. This appliance does not have a filter for you to clean.
