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.

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 7 kg

● Synthetics Max. 3.5 kg

8

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load

(for example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40006052Eng.qxd 08/07/2009 18:00 Page 8

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

Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For
delicate articles press the Délicats button to
select low drying temperature.

9

40006052Eng.qxd 08/07/2009 18:00 Page 9

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.

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.

Drying guide

The table shows approximate drying times,
depending on the type of fabric and dampness of
the clothes.

Selecting a Programme

The Candy 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. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes
depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat
depending upon the fabric type.

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.

Description

Select the degree of dryness that you require.
This ranges 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.

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.

The Anti plis 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.

The 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 dryness and temperature in the drum thanks to the
sensor using, using the exact time and energy you
need! The machine finishes the cycle when the
cupboard dry level is reached. The stated cycle length
could vary according to fabric types, load size and
residual moisture in the garments.
The maximum load is 2kg and the programme is
suitable for all types of fabric where tumble drying is
appropriate.
