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 they 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.
Removal of fluff
After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’ load or if you have used the appliance as a
dryer only, you MUST, after the dry load has been removed, set your appliance to rinse
and spin. This removes the fluff out of the pipes.
Note: This appliance does not have a filter.
WARNINGS
Do not tumble dry
woollens.
If using a dosing ball
for wash programme,
remove before using a
dry programme.
Do not remove laundry
from the appliance
before the ‘Cool
Tumble’ phase, as the
clothes, drum and door
bowl will be very hot.

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).

Drying Tips
Reduce the drying time of
handwashed laundry by selecting
a suitable spin only option from
programme ‘G’ (see page 13)
before drying.
When drying bedspreads, single
blankets etc... we recommend
that you remove, shake and
reload during the cycle to ensure
faster and more even drying.
Starched articles should be dried
together to avoid distribution of
starch onto non-starched items.
Be careful not to over dry.
