Special Programmes

Easy Iron Programme  

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minutes cool tumble period) which fluffs the fibres of 

clothing that has been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them 

easier to iron and fold. 

!

 Easy Iron is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results: 

1. Do not load more than maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight: 

Fabric:   

Max  

Cotton and Cotton mix   

2.5 kg  

Synthetics  

2  

Denim    

2  

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the drying cycle, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. 

Should this not be possible, repeat the cycle. 

The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less 

well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel.®

Wool Programme 

•  This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol

  .

•  It can be used for load sizes up to 1 kg (approximately 3 sweaters).

 

•  We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

 

•  This programme will take about 60 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the load and the  

    

spin speed used in your washer.  

•  Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly     

    

damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments. 

!

 Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size and shape.

!

 This program is not suitable for Acrylic garments.

Jeans 

•  This is a programme for Jeans made from Denim Cotton. Before drying your Jeans turn the front pockets inside out.

•  It can be used for load sizes up to 3 kg (approximately 4 pairs).

•  It can also be used on other garments made from same material such as jackets. 

•  This programme will take about 115 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size of the load and the spin speed used in 

your washer.

•  Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear; the edges or seams may be slightly damp. If this is found try turning 

the jeans inside out and running the programme again for a short period.

• Use this cycle only for a 100% cotton load, do not mix dark and light coloured items. Do not use this cycle for garments with 

embroidery and accessories (pins,...), turn the pockets insideout

!

 We do not recommend that you use this programme if your jeans have elastic waste bands or embroidery. 

continue drying. When you close the door again, press START 

in order to resume drying.

If you open the door to check your laundry you will extend the 

drying time as the heat pump compressor will not start until 5 

minutes after you close the door and pressed the start Button 

(see The Controls).

11. During the last few minutes of Drying Programmes before 

the programme is completed, the final COOL TUMBLE phase 

 

is entered (fabrics are cooled), this phase should always be 

allowed to complete. 

12. The buzzer (if option selected) will warn you when the 

programme is complete and the display shows 

END

.

Open the door, take your laundry out, clean the filter and 

replace it. Empty the water container and replace it 

(see 

Maintenance). 

If the Post care 

 

option has been selected and you do 

not take the clothes out immediately the clothes will tumble 

occasionally for 10 hours or until you open the door. 

13. Switch dryer off using the On/Off button.
