Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics
with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rub­ber foam or materials similar to rub­ber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on gar­ment labels:

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with
fasteners to prevent small laundry
items getting tangled inside them.
Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun
before tumble drying.

, too, e.g. shirts,
should be briefly pre-spun before
drying (depending on crease resist­ance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of
your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)
may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into
your dryer. However, to achieve the
desired starched effect, choose the
programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal

Objective

Adjusting the level
of conductivity

Implementation

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts
of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus
varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to
those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual
humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows
you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on
conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

Use only soap and water and then dry

thoroughly.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of
the door to remove any fluff from the
seals around the filter. Accurate clean­ing ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the fil­ters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which
accumulates during drying and they
must therefore be cleaned

The filter in the inner door must be
removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It
is not due to excessive wear caused by the
dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it
goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble
dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a withish patina due to
detergent residue on laundry forms on
the filters. When this occurs, clean the
filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening
as per picture (it can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).
