7BEFORETUMBLEDRYING
Before you start tumble drying, here is some
advice that can be useful.
SPIN-DRIED?
Items that are to be tumble dried should first
bespin-dried, preferablyat800revsperminute
or more. Better spin drying saves both energy
anddryingtime.
RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING
Material suitable for tumble drying
The symbol above indicates that the material
can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling
and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble
drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and
fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on
a line.
NOTE
Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is
minimal.The v caught in the lint filter consists
of dust and fibre residue that has been formed
when wearing the garments.
Material which should not be tumble-
dried
Thissymbolindicatesthat the materialwillnot
withstandtumble-drying.
Certain materials will melt or become dan-
gerously flammable if heated, while others will
loose their shape or shrink.
Do not tumble-dry...
• Materials that are marked “Do not dry close
to heat”.
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• Foam plastic.
• Glass-fibre materials
• Woollen items, because of the risk of felting.
SORTING FABRICS
Best results are obtained if all articles are of the
same material.
Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie
belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load
and the temperature as shown in the table be-
low.
PROGRAMS
Extra dry
This program is designed for washing that is
extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very
thick seams.
NOTE
Knitted fabrics in particular are
liabletoshrink.UsetheDry,Nor-
mal dry or Iron dry program for
these materials. Always stretch
garments out directly after dry-
ing.
TYPE OF FABFIC LOAD TEMPERATURE
White, coloured Cotton and 1/1 (5.0 kg) Normal
and synthetic linen
Polyester/ 1/2 (2.5 kg) Normal
cotton
Delicate and Acrylic, rayon, 1/2 (2.5 kg) Low
mild acetate etc.
Sort a suitable amount and type of fabric.

Dry, Normal dry
Theseprogramsturnofftheheatwhenthewash-
ing is dry, but not bone-dry.
The Dry program turns off the heat a little
later than Normal dry. Choose what you prefer
bytrial anderror. Usetheseprogramswhenyou
want dry fabrics.
Iron dry
Thisprogram turnsofftheheatwhenthewash-
ing is just damp enough for ironing or mang-
ling.
Timed dry program
The program length that you should choose
depends on what you wish to do with the fa-
brics after tumble drying. Dry different times
for different materials to find the right combi-
nation.
Whenusingatimeddryprogramwithmixed
washing it may happen that some of the items
will not be sufficiently dried. Such items can
suitablybydriedbyrunningthetimedprogram
for a further 10 minutes or so.
Timed dry programs automatically operates
attemperature Low,butyou can changeityour-
self to Normal.
NOTE
When using a timed program it is possible to
over-dry fabrics if you set too long a time.This
can cause fabrics to shrink or crease and feel
rough.Syntheticmaterialscanalsobecomechar-
ged with static electricity. Set a shorter time if
you tumble dry at temperature Normal.
Air fluff program
Use the air fluff program just to shake dust out
of garments, air them or soften them up.
To select Timed dry program or Air fluff pro-
gram,seeChapter 10,Makingown dryingpro-
grams.
OPTIONS
Cooling
You can choose between Normal cooling and
Quick cooling. Normal cooling lasts 20 minu-
tes and Quick cooling lasts 15 minutes.
Buzzer
The machine offers you the possibility of hea-
ring when the cooling period ends. Set the op-
tion Buzzer ON and it will sound for three
seconds when the program is completed.
Anti-crease program
UsingtheAnti-creaseprogram you canprevent
garments from lying still and becoming unne-
cessarily creased at the end of tumble drying.
This is a helpful option if you cannot take out
garments promptly at the end of the tumbling
phase.
You canchoosea programduration of1,2 or
3 hours.The drum will then continue to rotate
intermittently, ie, three seconds every minute
for the number of hours chosen.
IfyouchooseBuzzerON,asignalwillsound
each time the drum rotates.
To choose these options, see Chapter 10, Ma-
kingowndryingprograms.
