Before loading the laundry
Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net cur-
tains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim,
nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks,
blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rubber foam
or materials similar to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment
labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners
to prevent small laundry items getting tangled
inside them. Close press studs, zips and
hooks and tie belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and degree on
drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing
and saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as they could
attract the fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
•
Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be
briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on
crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or
using the special brief spin programme on
your washing machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may
shrink a little during drying. Please do not
overdry items of this type. It is advisable to
allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your
dryer. However, to achieve the desired
starched effect, choose the programme “iron
dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out
the internal drum after drying with a moist
cloth and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is com-
pleted, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric condition-
er specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has fin-
ished drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying,
Before the first use
Drying hints
Ensure that the electrical connections
comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove the polystryrene block and
any material from the drum.
• Before using your tumble dryer for the
first time, we recommend that you place
a few damp cloths inside the appliance
and dry for 30 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new
tumble dryer.
