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

tumble- drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and synthetic ﬁ bres. Garments will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any signiﬁ cant wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint ﬁ lter consists of dust and ﬁ bre 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 ﬁ re hazard if exposed to heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after tumble drying you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

• Wait ﬁ 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 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.

And do not tumble-dry:

• materials labelled ”Do not dry near heat”.

• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• plastic foam.

• ﬁ breglass material.

• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the risk of felting.
