until you open the door.

saving regulations, is fitted with an automatic standby
system which is enabled after about 30 minutes if no
activity is detected. Press the ON/OFF button briefly
and wait for the machine to start up again.

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®.
