PREPARING THE LOAD
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
● Remove all items packed inside drum.
● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.
Clothes Preparation
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item. Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.
Do Not Tumble Dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes (roughly) the load is always tumbled in cool air
Energy Saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.
ALWAYS
● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity.
● Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.
NEVER
● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.
● Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.
Maximum Drying Weight
● Cottons Max. 8 kg
● Synthetics Max. 4 kg
Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
Sort the Load as Follows
● By care symbols
These can be found on the collar or inside seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
. .
Tumble drying at high temperature.
.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.
● By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
● By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
● By drying level

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. The table on the next page lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown. If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after approximately 3 hours.
In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and 75minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and
select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.

DESCRIPTION
Select the degree of dryness that you require. This range from
for bath towels and bathrobes, through for items that will be
put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry suitable for ironing.
The programme provides a conditioning and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down period and is especially good for garments which may have been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.
A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after air-drying.This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the wardrobe.
This is a special timed program for a maximum load of 4kg (117 min). The default duration is 99 minutes and allows to dry up to 3kg. With this program you can dry together cotton and synthetic fabrics.
This is a special timed program for shirts of max load of 3kg (78 minutes). For synthetic shirts you have to press the Acrylic Synthetic button. The default duration is 60 minutes and allows to dry up to 2kg.
Rapid 40'
Time
Memo
The Rapid 40' programme allows a drying cycle to be completed quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme constantly monitors the temperature in the drum. The maximum load is 2 kg and the programme is suitable for all types of fabrics where tumble drying is appropriate.
Time selection includes all the manual time programs: from 30 minutes to 180 minutes. The 20 minutes selection time in only cool air ventilation (Refresh)
Memo Program allows to re-perform a program that the user has saved before, without selecting the correct sequence of program selector positions and option buttons for that particular program.
