Safety instructions

To minimize the risk of fire in atumble dryer, the following shouldbe observed:• Items that have been spotted or soaked with

vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazardand should not be placed in a tumble dryer.Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat sources suchas in a tumble dryer. The items becomewarm,causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannotescape, the items can become hot enough tocatch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affecteditems can prevent heat from escaping and socreate a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable thatfabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil orhave been contaminated by hair care productsbe placed in a tumble dryer they should firstbe washed in hot water with extra detergent -this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.The ’cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers shouldbe used to reduce the temperature of the items.They should not be removed from the tumbledryer or piled or stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously cleaned in,washed in, soaked in or spotted withpetrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or otherflammable or explosive substances should notbe placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammablesubstances commonly used in domesticenvironments include acetone, denaturedalcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spotremovers (some brands), turpentine, waxesand wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known aslatex foam) or similarly textured rubberlikematerials should not be dried in a tumble dryeron a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can,when heated, produce fire by spontaneouscombustion.

• Fabric softeners or similar products should notbe used in a tumble dryer to eliminate theeffects of static electricity unless this practiceis specifically recommended by themanufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Undergarments that contain metalreinforcements should not be placed in atumbledryer. Damage to the tumble dryer canresult if metal reinforcements come looseduring drying. When available a drying rackcould be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’waterproof napkin covers should not be placedin a tumble dryer. Rubber-backed articles,clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoesshould not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Vented dryers• There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid

the back flow of gases into the room fromappliances burning other fuels, including openfires, when operating the tumble dryer.

• The exhaust air must not be discharged into aflue which is used for exhausting fumes fromappliances burning gas or other fuels.

CAUTION!

Air from the tumble dryermust not be fed throughducts used for equipment that burns gas or otherfuels.

Description of the tumble dryer

Here are some tips that may help you before youbegin tumble-drying.

Have the clothes been spun?Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energyand reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-driedThis symbolmeans that thematerial is suitable

for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited totumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth andsynthetic fibres.Garmentswill be softer and lighterwhen tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any significantwear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lintfilter consists of dust and fibre residues formedwhen the items are used.

Materials that must not betumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is notsuitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials maymelt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat,and others can lose their shape or shrink.And do not tumble-dry• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.• plastic foam.• fibreglass material.• wool because of the risk of felting.

Static electricityTo reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundryafter tumble drying you can:• Use fabric softener when washing.• Wait fiveminutes after the drying programends

before opening the door and removing thelaundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing theStop button for three seconds or by opening thedoor. In both cases the program is stopped andstarts from the beginning if restarted.If you do not want to restart the program thenimmediately remove all laundry and spread it outto allow the heat to dissipate.

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Below are step-by-step instructions to help youachieve the best possible tumble-drying results.

1Sort your fabricsYou will achieve the most uniform dryingresults if the items are made of the same

type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fastenbelts, sort the items and adjust the load andtemperature.

2Press the main power switchuntil the display lights.

3Open the door, load the itemsand then close the door

Main power switch

Program selector Start Stop

Display windowOptions buttons

Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use theoption buttons to select any options.

Guidelines as to what specific programscan be used for:Auto extra dryThis program is for items that are particularlydifficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very thick seams.

NOTE!

Knitted fabrics in particular are prone toshrinkage. Use the Auto extra dry, Auto normaldry or Auto Iron dry programs for these items.Stretch clothes back into shape immediatelyafter drying.

Auto dry and Auto normal dryThese programs end automatically when the loadis dry. The Auto dry program gives slightly drierlaundry than Auto normal dry.Auto Iron dryThis program shuts off the heat once the load isjust damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Timed dryThemost suitable program time depends onwhatyou intend to dowith the items after tumble-dryingthem. Use trial and error to find out what worksbest. When you use Timed dry to tumble-dry aload of mixed fabrics, some of the garments mayremain damp. Tumble-dry any damp garmentsfor a further 30minutes or so using the Timed dryprogram.Select the desired time by pressing the DelayedStart button. A program time between 30minutesand 3 hours can be selected and each buttonpress changes the time by 15 minutes.

NOTE!

When using the Timed dry program with aprogram time that is too long, the garments canbecome “over-dry”. This can cause items toshrink or crease and feel rough to the touch.Synthetic materials can also become chargedwith static electricity.

RevitaliseUse the Air fluff program when you just want torefresh, air or soften up items.Select the desired time by pressing the DelayedStart button. A program time between 15minutesand 3 hours can be selected and each buttonpress changes the time by 15 minutes.
