Sort laundry by:

Material thickness: whenever the load is greater than the dryer can handle, separate laundry according to weight (e.g. dry towels and thin underwear separately).

Type of material: cotton (linen); synthetic textiles (easy care).

Dryness level: cupboard dry, iron dry etc.

Do not tumble dry: woollens, silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, bulky items such as sleeping bags or pillows.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Ensure that there are no cigarette lighters in the wash. Turn laundry inside out.

Place laundry loosely in the drum to achieve even drying throughout. Then close the door.

Select the required drying programme by turning the programme selector knob (for information, refer to programme table).

Select the required option by pressing the corresponding button.

The indicator lamp above the relevant button lights up to confirm your selection. A fast blinking LED indicates that an invalid selection has been made (incompatible option). Press the button again to cancel the option.

Start the drying programme by pressing the “Start (Pause)” button. The relevant indicator lamp lights up.

Changing programme selection: if the selected programme is changed during drying, the dryer stops. The “Start (Pause)” indicator lamp flashes.

To run the new programme, press the “Start (Pause)” button again.

Interrupting programme: to interrupt a drying cycle, press the “Start (Pause)” button and open the door. Wait at least 5 minutes, to allow the laundry to cool down, before unloading the dryer. For your safety, the drying cycle stops automatically if you open the door. To restart the cycle after opening the door, press the “Start (Pause)” button again.

Warning: never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Programme end - unload dryer

The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the items reach a lower temperature to avoid wrinkling.

End: take the laundry out of the dryer. The drying process is complete and the anticrease phase has been reached (active).

Switch dryer off	Set the programme selector knob to “Off” (“O”).

Set the programme selector knob to “Off” (“O”).

Close lint filter and push firmly back into place (more detailed informations are given in the Instructions For Use). Emptying the water container: pull container out by the handle and empty. Replace the container when empty by pushing it completely back into place.

Please note: only use additives/plastic items specified as dryer safe and rinse items that have been treated with stain remover thoroughly in plenty of water before drying. Never dry rubber objects or objects stained with vegetable oils in the dryer.
