Advice and tips before you tumble-dry
Here are some tips that may help you before you
begin tumble-drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy
and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is suitable
for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to
tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and
synthetic fibres. Garments will be softer and lighter
when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant
wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
filter consists of dust and fibre residues formed
when the items are used.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry
after tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends
before opening the door and removing the
laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the programme is stopped
and starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the programme then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it out
to allow the heat to dissipate.
Materials that must not be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may
melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat,
and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• plastic foam.
• fibreglass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the
risk of felting.

Guidelines as to what specific programmes can be used for:
The Auto extra dry, Auto dry and Auto normal dry
programmes have two temperature settings.
Normal temperature but also low temperature for
more delicate items.
Auto extra dry
Temperature normal. This programme is for items
that are particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans
with very thick seams.
Auto dry
Temperature normal. These programmes shut off
the heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone
dry". The Auto dry programme shuts off the heat
slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial and
error to find out what works best. Use these
programmes when you want items to be
completely dry.
Auto normal dry
Temperature normal. These programmes shut off
the heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone
dry". The Auto dry programme shuts off the heat
slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial and
error to find out what works best. Use these
programmes when you want items to be
completely dry.
Auto extra dry (low temperature)
Energy Save. This programme is for items that
are particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans with
very thick seams.
Auto dry (low temperature)
Energy Save. These programmes shut off the
heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone
dry". The Auto dry programme shuts off the heat
slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial and
error to find out what works best. Use these
programmes when you want items to be
completely dry.
Auto normal dry (low temperature)
Energy Save. These programmes shut off the
heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone
dry". The Auto dry programme shuts off the heat
slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial and
error to find out what works best. Use these
programmes when you want items to be
completely dry.
Auto Iron dry
This programme shuts off the heat once the load
is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

15
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the steamer filter
Lint should be cleaned from the net filter and the
foam filter inside the steamer door at the intervals
shown on the machine's display or more often.
1. Remove the plinth
2. Open the steamer door.
6. Wash the foam filter in a washing machine
using a rinse or quick wash programme. No
detergent or hot wash is necessary. The lint is
washed away and the filter is not damaged.
7. Clean the steamer by spraying water on the
ribs with a plant spray bottle. The lint runs off
together with the water, which is then
evacuated by the condensed water pump.
3. Pull out the filter by grasping the "handle" in
the middle.
4. Brush the lint from the filter with your hand. Use
a soft, dry cloth to remove any deposits.
5. Remove the foam filter found behind the net
filter.
16
8. Replace both filters and close the steamer
door.
NOTE!
Avoidtouching the ribs on the steamer. They are
very thin and easily damaged. If the ribs are bent
or damaged, the efficiency of the condenser is
greatly impaired, as is the drying result.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
programme panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
solvents, as these can damage the machine. Do
not hose down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the
machine. Keep the area around the tumble dryer
Care and cleaning
clean and cool; dust, heat and moisture prolong
drying times.
