2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see
Laundry).
3. Open the door and make sure the filter is clean
and in place (see Maintenance).
4. Load the machine and make sure items are not
in the way of the door seal. Close the door.
5. Choose a drying time or programme, the way you
do this depends on the type of dryer you have:

- choose a drying time by
checking the Drying Guide table
for the type of fabric you are
drying (see Laundry).

HEAT button.
- select a drying time by rotating
the TIMER knob clockwise, never counter-clockwise,
until the indicator is pointing to the drying time you
want.

checking the Programmes table
(see Programmes) as well as the
indications for each type of
fabric (see Laundry).
- set the temperature with the
HEAT button.
- select a programme or drying
time by rotating the PROGRAMME knob clockwise,
never counter-clockwise, until the indicator is
pointing to the drying time or programme you want.
6. (VTD20 only):
- Set a delay time by using the
DELAY knob if necessary.
: rotate it clockwise until you
reach the number of hours you
want to delay the start time.
If you have gone too far, turn the
knob counter-clockwise.

sound at the end of the programme, press the
ALARM button.
8. Press the START button to begin.
The ACTIVE indicator light (VTD20 only) will turn
on and will stay on, even during the delay.
The indicator light will remain on until you open
the door.
During the drying programme, you can check on
your laundry and take out the items that are dry,
while the others continue drying. When you close
the door again, press START in order to resume
drying.
9. About 10 minutes before drying is completed, it
enters the final COOL TUMBLE phase (fabrics
are cooled), which should always be allowed to
be completed.

selected, will warn you when drying is complete.
11. Open the door, take the laundry out, clean the filter
and replace it (see Maintenance).
