Cuddly Toy

With this programme you can remove dust easier and wash the cuddly toys more often because the
drying time is very much reduced compared to drying in the open air. It is a delicate drying cycle that
dries at low temperature and with soft mechanical action to maintain at best the original look and shine
of the fur.

Note:

For allergy protection, just freeze cuddly toys for 24 hours then wash and dry them. Repeat every

6 weeks. Before drying remove accessories such as clothes, collars or sound boxes and protect plastic
eyes with masking tape after drying them with a cloth. The maximum load should not exceed 2.5kg and
no individual item should be greater than 600g.

Easy Iron

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

Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®
