|CZ)I Materials suitable for tumble drying

For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint
shedders (chenille and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics, flannel
and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and corduroy). Separate non*

coiorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from light weight fabrics and
permanent press from heavy, bulky items.

Do not tumble dry

Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label says "Drip
dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the dryer. Certain matenals 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 or plastic

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Note: SAFETY
Do not allow children to play on or In the appliance. Close supervision of

children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

The start pushbutton springs out again

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, e.g.
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.

When you want extra dry
fabrics

1. Extra dry

This automatic program is
intended for use with
washing that is extremeiy
difficult to dry, e.g. 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.

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.

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 15 minutes.

Drying time depends on

Turn the program knob
clockwise to the
required program.

A program can be
stopped at any time by
turning the knob to the
0 position.

When you want to air
fabfabrics

4. Airing program cold

This program cannot be
combing with heating. It is
used to shake the dust out
of garment, air them or
soften them up.

If the washing is not dry

When using the automatic
programs, 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 a
further period of drying in the
timed program for aboutIO

minutes. Also do not overload
the dryer. If a dryer is
overloaded, its efficiency is

lessened and clothes may not
dry evenly.

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.

Single items

Use the timed program

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

Dryer added fabric softeners

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

Permanent press hints

For the most wrinkle free
permanent press drying, only
dry one half load at a time to
assure errough room for items t|>
tumble freely. Do not combine
permanent press items with
other very heavy clothes in the
dryer. Remove clothes
immediately after the drying
cycle is completed and either
hang them up or lay them flat.

Fluff filter

Filter holder

Cleaning the lint filter

The lint filter must be cleaned after
each time the machine has been
used. If this is not done, drying
performance wilt suffer, as in
sufficient air will pass through the
drum. The machine may also
overheat: this will cause it to stop
automatically.

Clean the filter as follows:

1. Grasp the filter holder by the two
holes near the center and pull it off
the peg on which it is supported in
the front door.

2. Take the filter out of the holder
and brush away the lint in it by
hand.

NOTE! Wear and tear of fabrics in a

tumble dryer is insignificant. The lint
caught in the lint filter is dust and
fiber residue that has been formed
when the garments have been used.

The machine starts, but will not continue to run

If the machine starts when the Start button is
pressed, but stops as soon as the button is
released, it indicates that the overheating
cutout has operated. Clean the lint filter and
allow the machie to cool down.

Excessive drying time

Check that the lint filter is not blocked. Do not
overload the dryer. Items to be tumble-dried

lUst first have been spin-dried, preferable at

' t

00 r/min or more.

NOTE: When you start the dryer for the first
time, a slight rumbling may be heard during a
short warming-up period. When the dryer is run­in, this sound will disappear.

3. Replace the filter in the holder
and refit the holder in position on the
peg in the door.

NOTEI Clean lint collecting near the

tumble dryer as it can be sucked

into the air intake.

Other user service

About once a year, remove the
exhaust air hose and clean it and the
outlet from the machine.

How the dryer works

1 Air is drawn from the room through

the bottom of the machine.

An electric heater heats the air
passing into the drum.

Warm air enters the drum through
holes in the back and dries the
washing. The drum rotates, and the
two paddles prevent garments from
becoming tangled.

The air passes through the tint filter
and the front of the drum and enters
the fan.
Air is forced out through the outlet
through a fixed duct (see page 10)

The temperature remains at
approximately 40° C (104° F)
as long as the clothes are

moist. When the clothes dry,
the temperature rises and the
heater element is automatically
switched off at the preset
temperature. The air that is not
heated is then drawn through

the drum and coots the clothes
for about 15 minutes.

The thermostats which switch
off the heating at normal and
low temperature 60° C (140°
F), 45° C(113° F) are fitted
next to the fan. There are
atso two thermostats next to
the heater eiement. One
switches off the heater
element if the temperature
becomes too high and the
other switches off the

compiete tumbie dryer if a
fauit occurs. This overheating
protection, which is fitted at
the rear of the machine, can
be reset when the
temperature has faiien. Refer
to the section entitled "If the
machine does not work"
(page 5).

How much air does the dryer
need?

The dryer needs about 196 cubic yards of
fresh air per hour. The room in which it is
installed must therefore have a sufficient air
change rate to ensure that the machine

receives enough fresh air.

Energy saving hints

• Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer.

• Do not overload the dryer.

• Do not put unspun, very wet items in the dryer.

• Clean the lint filter after each load.

• Do not over dry clothes when using the timed program.

• If you plan on ironing items, remove them while still slightly damp.

• Leave the door closed while the dryer is in operation.
