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.
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.
oClose pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent smaller items
getting tangled inside them.
oFasten press studs, zips, hooks, tie belts, apron strings, etc.
oAvoid drying dark and light coloured fluffy items together as the fluff
could transfer.
IMPORTANT: 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.
IMPORTANT: remove all metal objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, etc.
