Sorting fabrics

Materials suitable for tumble drying

For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (cheniile and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics, flannei and fabrics with a nap, such as veiveteen and corduroy). Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from iight weight fabrics and permanent press from heavy, buiky items.

Do not tumble dry

Read ail permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label says "Drip Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Fiat", do not dry in the dryer. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble dried are:

• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home

• Wool (unless the garment's manufacturer recommends it)

• Fiberglass

• Laminated or rubber coated items

• Vinyl and plastic

Type of washing Recommended size of load

White wash, colored wash (cotton, linen)

Synthetics Permanent press (Polyester, cotton)

Set the required program using the program knob

Which program to use

The program to be used depends on what is to be done with the washing after tumble-drying. Two automatic programs are provided: ‘Extra Dry' and

‘Dry', if washing is not to be dried completely, i.e. because it is to be ironed, it is a good idea to use the time program instead. Either of the operating temperatures (Low or Normal) is available

with either of the automatic programs or with the

time program.

4 Press the main On/Off switch

and the Start pushbutton

(The indicating lamp will light)

The Start pushbutton springs out again after use.

Turn the program knob clockwise to the required pro gram. A program can be stopped at any time by turn ing the knob to the 0 position

When you want dry fabrics:

2) Dry

This program turns off the heat when the washing is dry but not absolutely bone-dry. It Is then cooled for about 15 minutes. This Is the program to use when you want dry fabrics.

1) Extra dry

This automatic program Is Intended for use with washing that Is ex tremely difficult to dry, I.e. jeans with very thick seams. The heat Is turned off when the washing Is completely dry, and Is followed by a cooling period of about

15 minutes.

If washing is not dry

after tumble-drying

When using the automatic pro

grams, it can happen that not all of

the washing is properly dry. This

may be due to such reasons as very heavy fabrics or thick seams. To dry these items, give them a further period of drying in the timed program for about 10 minutes. Also, do not overload the dryer. If a dryer is overloaded, its efficiency is lessened and clothes may not dry evenly.

When you want to iron:

3) Timed program

The timed program can be set for

any desired heating time up to one hour. At the end of the preset time,

the washing Is cooled for

about a further 15 minutes.

Permanent press hints

For the most wrinkle free perma nent press drying, only dry one half load at a time to assure

enough room for Items to tumble freely. Do not combine perma nent press Items with other very heavy clothes In the dryer. Remove clothes Immediately after the drying cycle Is complete and either hang them up or lay them flat.

Do not over-dry

When using the timed program, it

is possible to over-dry fabrics, if

too long a time has been set. This

can cause the fabrics to wrinkle,

shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic

materials can also become charged

with static electricity.

When you want to air fabrics:

4) Airing program, cold

This program cannot be combined with heating. It Is used to shake the dust out of garments, air them or soften them up.

Dryer added fabric softeners

Because some dryer added fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic dryers, use only one that the manufactures give a written assurance that their softener can safely be used In your dryer.

Single items

Use the timed program when there is only one item to be dried. This is because the automatic program may turn off the heating too early, so that the item is not properly dried.
