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 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.

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 Relax 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 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 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.

VENTILATION
Der skal være tilstrækkelig ventilation i det rum,
hvor tørretumbleren placeres, så det undgås at
gasser fra andre apparater, eller åben ild,
trækkes ind I rummet under tørrebumbling.
● Udsugningsluft må ikke afledes i en træ
kkanal, der er beregnet til aftræk af røggasser
fra apparater, der kører på gas eller anden
brændsel.
● Kontrollér regelmæ ssigt at luften, der strø
mmer gennem tørretumbleren, ikke hæmmes.
● Kontrollér fnugfiltret efter brug og rengør det
om nødvendigt.
● Indløb og udløb skal holdes fri for tilstopninger.
For at sikre tilstrækkelig ventilation må
mellemrummet mellem maskinens bund og
gulvet ikke tilstoppes. Der skal være mindst 12
mm fri luft mellem maskinen og ting, der kan
blokere.
● Genstande skal forhindres i at falde ned og
samles mellem tørretumblerens sider og

FORBEREDELSE AF ILÆGNING AF TØJ
Før tørretumbleren anvendes første gang:
● Læs venligst denne instruktionsbog grundigt.
● Fjern alle genstande som er lagt ind I tromlen.
● Aftør tromlens inderside og låge med en fugtig
klud for at fjerne eventuelt støv, som har sat sig
under transporten.
Klargøring Af Tøj
Du skal sikre, at det vasketøj, du skal til at
tørre, egner sig til tørring i en tørretumbler,
som vist på vaskemærker på hver genstand.
Kontroller at alle lukninger er lukkede, og at
lommerne er tomme. Vend vrangen ud på
genstandene. Læg tøjet løst i tromlen for at
sikre, at det ikke filtrer sig sammen..
Må ikke tørres I tørretumbler:
Uld, silke, sarte stoffer, nylonstrømper, sart
broderi, stof med m e t a l dekoration,
beklædningsgenstande med PVC eller
læderkanter, gummisko, pladskrævende
genstande, som f.eks. soveposer, osv.
VIGTIGT: Tør ikke genstande som er
behandlet med kemisk rensevæske eller
gummitøj (fare for brand eller eksplosion).
I de sidste 15 minutter tørres tøjet altid i kold
luft.
Energibesparelse
Læg kun vasketøj i tørretumbleren som er
blevet grundigt vredet eller centrifugeret. Jo
mere tørt vasketøj er, jo kortere vil tørretiden
være og derved spare elektricitet.
ALTID
● Prøv altid at tørre vasketøj så meget vasketøj
som maskinen tillader, dette sparer både tid og
elektricitet.
● Det skal altid kontrolleres, at filtret er rent før
hver tørrecyklus.
ALDRIG
● Den maksimale vægt må aldrig overskrides,
dette vil spilde tid og elektricitet.
● L æ g aldrig d r i v v å d e genstande I
tørretumbleren, dette kan beskadige apparatet.
Maksimal tørrevægt
● Bomuld Maks. 8 kg
● Syntetiske stoffer Maks. 4 kg
Tromlen må ikke overfyldes, større, våde
ting, kan overstige den maksimalt tilladte vægt
(f.eks.: soveposer og dyner).
Sorter Tøjet, Der Skal Lægges I, Som Følger:
● Efter vaskemærker
De findes i kraven eller på en indvendig søm:
Egnet til tørring i tumbler.
. .
Tørring i tumbler ved høj temperatur.
Kun tørring i tumbler ved lav
.
temperatur.
Må ikke tørres i tørretumbler.
Hvis der ikke findes noget vaskemærke, må det
betragtes som uegnet til tørretumbling.
● Efter antal og tykkelse
Når det tøj, der skal lægges i, overstiger
tørretumblerens kapacitet, skal tøjet adskilles i
overensstemmelse med tykkelse (f.eks.
håndklæder fra tyndt undertøj).
● Efter stoftype
Bomuld/linned: Håndklæder, bomuldsjersey,
sengelinned og duge.
Syntetiske stof: Skjortebluser, skjorter, overalls,
osv., fremstillet af polyester eller polyamid samt
efter bomulds/syntetiske blandinger.
● Efter tørringsniveau
Sorter tøjet i: Strygetørt, Skabstørt, osv. For
sarte genstande tryk på knappen for at vælge lav
tørretemperatur.

Denne sensor tørretumbler giver dig mange
muligheder for at tilpasse tørringen til dine
specielle behov.
I tabellen nedenfor kan du se de forskellige
programmer og hvordan de fungerer.
Bemærk: Sensoren vil måske ikke kunne
mærke hvis der kun er få ting lagt I.Til små
mængder tøj og enkelte stykker eller fortørrede
stoffer med lavt fugtindhold, skal de
tidsindstillede programmer anvendes. Indstil
programmet til mellem 30 og 75 minutter
afhængig af tøjmængden og den ønskede
tørhedsgrad og vælg høj eller lav varme
afhængig af stoftype.
Hvis sensoren ikke kan mærke noget i
tørretumbleren, kører den kun i 10 min. før den
går ind I afkølingsfasen.
Er tøjmængden for stor eller for våd til at
tørretumbles, vil tørretumbleren automatisk gå
ind i afkølingsfasen efter ca. 3 timer.
