Start and Programmes

Special Programmes

Easy Iron Programme

‘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.

For best results:

1.

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

Fabric

Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures

2.5kg

Synthetics

2kg

Denim

2kg

2.

Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put 
them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works 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 1kg (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 programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.

Mini Load

Available with Cotton High Heat and Synthetic programmes.  Used for loads between 1 and 2kg.
This programme optimises Automatic programme for smaller loads and improves the Time to End estimation.

Programme option modifiers

Mixed Dry

Available with Cotton High Heat and Synthetic programmes.
This option used after selecting either a Cupboard Dry or Hanger Dry dryness level. This allows you to remove
items when they have reached Hanger Dry or Iron Dry.
When the dryer detects that the load has reached Iron Dry, the display shows:  IRON DRY REACHED  and the
buzzer sounds for 2 minutes, open the door and remove items that you need to iron.
Then close the door and press the Start/Pause button     and the programme resumes.

!

If you do not open the door during the 2 minute period, the dryer will resume drying without you pressing the

Start/Pause button. 

Hanger Dry programme then continues and ends with  END OF CYCLE. EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE

Cupboard Dry programme continues until the dryer detects that the load has reached Hanger Dry, the display
shows:  HANGER DRY REACHED  and the buzzer sounds for 2 minutes, open the door and remove any items that
you need to hang up to finish drying.
Then close the door and press the Start/Pause button     and the programme resumes. 

!

If you do not open the door during the 2 minute period, the dryer will resume drying without you pressing the

Start/Pause button.

When Cupboard Dry dryness level reached, the dryer completed the cool tumble (and, if selected, Post Care) and
ends with  END OF CYCLE. EMPTY WATER BOTTLE
