without heat (cool down cycle) to
ensure that the objects are in a
temperature that ensures that items
are not damaged.
CAUTION! HOT SURFACE!
When the tumble dryer is operating,
the back of the tumble dryer will get
very hot. Leave the machine to cool
completely before touching the back.
WARNING!
Never stop the machine before the
drying cycle end unless all items are
quickly removed from the machine
and spread out so that the heat is led
away.

ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE YOU TUMBLE-DRY
Here are some tips that may help you before you begin
tumble-drying.
HAVE THE CLOTHES BEEN SPUN?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or
faster. Higher spin speeds save energy and reduce drying
time.
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE TUMBLE-
DRIED
This symbol means that the material is suitable for
tumble- drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble-drying are
cotton fabrics, terry cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments
will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung
out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant wear
on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint filter consists
of dust and fibre residues formed when the items are
used.
MATERIALS THAT MUST NOT BE
TUMBLE-DRIED
This symbol means that the material is not suitable
for tumble-drying. Certain materials may melt 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 must not be tumble-dried because of the risk of
felting.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after
tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends before
opening the door and removing the laundry from the
dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the Stop
button for three seconds or by opening the door. In both
cases the programme is stopped and starts from the
beginning if restarted. If you do not want to restart the
programme then immediately remove all laundry and
spread it out to allow the heat to dissipate.

9
TUMBLE DRYING
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve
the best possible tumble-drying results.
SORT YOUR FABRICS
You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the
items are made of the same type of material. Do up zips
and buttons, fasten belts, sort the items and adjust the
load and temperature.
NOTE!
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results
and wrinkling.
Press the main power switch until the display lights. Open
the door, load the items and then close the door.
NOTE!
Make sure that objects e.g. detergent dispensing balls,
have been removed from the laundry. They could melt
and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
NOTE!
To save energy, always observe the maximum load for
each programme (see Program chart)
Select a programme by turning the programme selector. The selected programme is shown in the display window.
Programme selector Display window
Main power switch Start Stop
SELECT THE PROGRAMME
Guidelines as to what specific programmes can be used
for:
The Auto extra dry, Auto dry and Auto normal dry
programmes have two temperature settings. Normal
temperature but also low temperature for more delicate
items.
Auto extra dry
Temperature normal.This programme is for items that are
particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans with very thick
seams.
Auto dry
Temperature normal.These programmes shut offthe heat
once the load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto
dry programme shuts offthe heat slightly later than Auto
normal dry. Use trial and error to find out what works best.
Auto normal dry
Temperature normal.These programmes shut offthe heat
once the load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto
dry programme shuts offthe heat slightly later than Auto
normal dry. Use trial and error to find out what works best.
Auto extra dry (low temperature)
Energy Save.This programme is for items that are
particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans with very thick
seams.
Auto dry (low temperature)
Energy Save.These programmes shut offthe heat once
the load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto dry
programme shuts offthe heat slightly later than Auto
normal dry. Use trial and error to find out what works best.
Auto normal dry (low temperature)
Energy Save.These programmes shut offthe heat once
the load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto dry
programme shuts offthe heat slightly later than Auto
normal dry. Use trial and error to find out what works best.
Auto iron dry (low temperature)
This programme shuts offthe heat once the load is just
damp enough for ironing or pressing.

10
TUMBLE DRYING
PRESS THE START BUTTON.
Remaining drying time
An estimate of the remaining drying time will be shown
on the display a few minutes after the drying programme
starts. For example, 1:35 means that it will take
approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes for the load to dry.
If the option.Anti crease has been selected, the drum will
rotate for three seconds per minute for two hours after the
programme is finished.The actual remaining time may
be longer than the estimated time shown on the display.
The remaining time is then shown as 0:15 until the load
is sufficiently dry. If you selected Time Saver the display
will show 0:05 instead. You can stop the tumble dryer by
pressing the Stop button for three seconds or by opening
the door. In both cases the programme is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
NOTE!
The programme will not be affected if you change the
programme selector after the programme has started.
DRYING PROGRAMME FINISHED
The text Done appears on the display when the
programme is finished. If the Anti crease option has
been selected, the drum will rotate for three seconds per
minute for two hours after the programme is finished..
Backlighting
Two minutes after the drying programme finishes the
backlighting on the display and options buttons enters
energy saving mode. Turn the programme selector if you
want to activate the machine.
NOTE!
Clean the lint filter in the outer door after each load.
See the Care and cleaning chapter.
WARNING!
If the lint filter becomes clogged, the machine’s
automatic overheating cut-out may be triggered.
Clean the filter, wait until the machine has cooled then
try starting it. If it still doesnot start: Call the service
division.
Once drying has finished
Turn offthe main power switch. Remove the clothes and
close the door to prevent small children from climbing into
the machine.

to open the lint filter.
2. Open the lint filter. Use your thumb to press on the
edge as illustrated and pull it out.
3. Use your hand or a soft cloth to remove the lint from
all sides of the filter. If necessary, use a damp sponge
and a small amount of washing-up liquid to remove
any deposits. Dry the filter thoroughly with a towel.
NOTE!
Clean the surface of the lint (fluf) filter after each drying
program.
4. To close the lint filter, follow the reverse order of steps
used for opening.Then, replace the filter by sliding it
back into the door. Close the lint filter before closing
the door.
NOTE!
Clean the filters after each drying.
Do not replace the filters if they are damp or wet. Damp
or wet filters could cause operational faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without the filters
in place, or with damaged filters as excessive amount
of accumulated fibres from the fabric could cause
malfunction or failure of the dryer.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
MACHINE
Clean the outside of the machine and the programme
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use solvents, as these
can damage the machine. Do not hose down or spray the
machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the machine.
Keep the area around the tumble dryer clean and cool;
dust, heat and moisture prolong drying times.
