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 TUMBLEDRIED

This symbol means that the material is suitable for tumbledrying. 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.

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.

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.
