Drying program guidance
oCheck the wash care labels of the garments that you want to
dry, to make sure that they are suitable for drying in a tumble
dryer.
oThe maximum amount of clothing that can be dried in your
appliance in a single drying cycle is 6kg. If the tumble dryer is
overloaded, then the drying performance will be affected and
clothing may come out creased.
oIf you have taken the clothes you want to dry out of a washing
machine with an inadequate spin cycle, roll the clothes in a towel
to remove the excess water.
oIMPORTANT: Do not dry clothes that are dripping wet.
10

oOnly dry garments of the same fabric type in a single drying
program. If heavy and light fabrics are dried in the same drying
cycle, then you will get uneven drying performance.
oWhen drying larger garments such as sheets, it is advisable not
to place more than two garments in the appliance at once. You
should stop the dryer before the completion of a program to
redistribute the load.
oDelicate items such as tights and stockings should be placed
inside a pillowcase before drying.
oDO NOT dry clothes containing foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads in the appliance.
oDO NOT dry one item at a time as the garment will roll up and
increase the drying time.
oIMPORTANT: If the clothes become dry before the cycle
has finished, the thermostat will automatically switch off
the heater to prevent over-drying the garments. This will
save energy although the drum will still rotate.
oThere is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of
every cycle, during which the heater switches off. This helps to
minimise creasing.
Care labels
oYou may find the following symbols on the care labels of your
garments. These indicate how to dry the item correctly.

Selecting a drying program
oOpen the tumble dryer door.
oLoad the clothes loosely into the drum. Items such as sheets
should be loaded corner-first.
oClose the door and dry your hands thoroughly.

button (C). Use the program suggestion display (B) as a guide.
oCheck that the drying time selection dial (A) is in the “0”
position before you adjust it to the required drying time.
Each drying cycle automatically includes a final cooling down
period (cycle) of about 12 minutes. This should be accounted
for when setting a drying time.
oPress the start button (D) and the drum will begin rotating.
oThe tumble dryer will stop when the timer automatically reaches
the “0” position.
Pausing a drying cycle
oIt is possible to remove your clothes or redistribute the load
before the cycle has finished.
oTo stop the machine in the middle of a program, simply open the
door. The drum will stop rotating automatically.
oIMPORTANT: Care should be taken when interrupting a
drying cycle as garments may be hot to touch.
oThe program will continue when the door is closed again and the
start button (D) is pressed.
oTo lengthen or shorten the program when it is in progress, turn
the drying time selection dial (A) to the required time.

Maintenance and cleaning
In daily use
oThe filter should be cleaned after each drying cycle.
oLeave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a drying cycle
has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and
to protect the door seal.

it is possible for the drum to become stained.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or
scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.

or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This
sits inside the opening of the porthole door.

The filter
oIt is important to remove fluff from the filter after each drying
cycle.
oYou should disconnect the appliance from the mains supply
before cleaning the filter.
