-
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
fi
bres. Garments
will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung
out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signi
fi
cant wear
on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
fi
lter consists
of dust and
fi
bre 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
fi
re 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.
•
fi
breglass 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
fi
ve 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.
