Choosing a programme
1. Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.
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. If the On/Off light is not lit: Press the ON/OFF
button .
6. Choose a programme by checking the Programmes
Guide (see Programmes) as well as the indications
for each type of fabric (see Laundry).
- Select a programme by rotating the
PROGRAMMES knob clockwise.
7. Set a delay time and other options if necessary.
8. If you wish to select the buzzer sound, at the end
of the programme, press the ALARM Option button.
9. Press the START button to begin. The display will
show the estimated time to end.
During the drying programme, you can check on
your laundry and take out items that are dry
while others continue drying. When you close
the door again, press the START button in order
to resume drying.
10. During the last few minutes of Drying
Programmes, before the programme is
completed, the final COOL TUMBLE phase is
entered (fabrics are cooled), this phase should
always be allowed to complete.
11. The buzzer (if Alarm Option was selected) will
warn you when the programme is complete.
Open the door, take the laundry out, clean the
filter and replace it (see Maintenance).
If the Post Creasecare Option has been selected
and you do not remove the laundry immediately,
the dryer will tumble occasionally for 10 hours
or until you open the door.
12. Unplug the dryer.
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®.
Wool Programme
This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol .
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 20 to 40 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.
