The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (800 rpm minimum). If the washing machine spins at a lower speed than 800 rpm, it is advisable to buy a spin-dryer.

Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree of spinning prior to drying.

Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.

Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable to take note of them.

Size of load

It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:

Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.

Synthetics: half drum.

Particularly delicate fabrics: do not fill the drum more than 1/3.

For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.
