Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle
.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in
order to obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
•
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments
with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers,
quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
•
A
void drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these
can attract the fluff.
•
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
•
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tum-
ble dryers.
•
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
•
Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours..
