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 bers. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signicant
wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint lter
consists of dust and ber 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 ve 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 program is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program,
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.
Materials that should not be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a re hazard if exposed to
heat and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble dry
• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• berglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.

/
Options buttonsMain power switch
Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the
option buttons to select any options.
Guidelines as to what specic
programs can be used for:
Auto Heavy
Program with the maximum temperature. This
program is for items that are particularly dicult
to dry, such as jeans with very thick seams.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Auto Normal, Auto Delicate,
or Auto Iron Dry programs for these items.
Stretch clothes back into shape immediately
after drying.
Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
These programs end automatically when the
load is dry. The Auto Normal program leaves
the laundry slightly more dry than Auto Delicate.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts o the heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed Dry
The most suitable program time depends
on what you intend to do with the items after
tumble drying them. Use trial and error to nd
out what works best. When you use Timed Dry
to tumble dry a load of mixed fabrics, some of
the garments may remain damp. Tumble dry
any damp garments for a further 30 minutes
or so using the Timed Dry program. Select the
desired time by pressing the Delayed Start
button. A program time between 30 minutes and
3 hours can be selected and each button press
changes the time by 15 minutes.
NOTE!
When using the Timed Dry program with a
program time that is too long, the garments
can become "over-dry". This can cause items
to shrink or wrinkle and feel rough to the touch.
Synthetic materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
Air Flu
Use the Air Flu program when you just want to
refresh, air out, or soften up items.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 15
minutes and 3 hours can be selected and each
button press changes the time by 15 minutes.
