PREPARING THE LOAD
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
●
Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
●
Remove all items packed inside drum.
●
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with
a damp
cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in
transit.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry
is
suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown
by the
care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.
Place
clothes loosely in the drum to make sure
that they
don't get tangled.

which
have been
treated with a
dry cleaning fluid
or
rubber clothes

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which
has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The
drier
the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.
ALWAYS
●
Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,
this
will save time and electricity.
●
Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
●
Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
●
Put dripping wet items into the tumble
dryer,
this may damage the appliance.
Energy Saving
During the last 15 minutes (roughly) the
load is always tumbled in cool air
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when
wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes
load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
