• Items that are stained with e.g. cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover

• Items such as foam rubber, latex, plastic,
waterproof textiles, rubber-coated items and
clothes and foam-rubber filled cushions must
not be dried in the tumbler dryer.

• Fabric softener or similar products should be
used as per the recommendations of the

person responsible for their safety.

• Children must be watched to ensure they do
not play with the machine.

• Do not let lint accumulate near the dryer

the tumble dryer will get very hot. Leave the
machine to cool completely before touching the
back.

position for 24 hours. If for some reason the
tumble dryer needs to be laid down for transport
or service, it must be laid on its left side viewed
from the front.

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.
