Wool Programme
This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up
to
1
kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about
1:00
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash
cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly
damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.
Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and sha-
pe. This programme is not suited for acrylic items.
Jeans Programme
This programme is suited to washing cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for
loads of up to
3
kg (about 4 pairs).
This programme lasts about 1:25 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and of the load and on the spin spe-
ed used in the wash cycle. Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may be
slightly damp. In this occurs, turn the jeans inside out and reactivate the programme for a short while.
Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light colours and avoid using this programme for garments with
embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.
Special Shoes Programme
This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46 . The shoes must have been previously washed and spun at a
minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions .
A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remove the
filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.
Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.
Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme,
restart the programme.
Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the program-
me ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.
Sportwear Programme
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes which
do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to
4
kg, it lasts about
1:20
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on
the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before
drying them.
Outwear Programme
This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the garment
after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garment’s water-repellent treatment.
It can be used for loads of up to
2
kg. The programme lasts about
2:00
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size
and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle.
Easy Iron
A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garment’s fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding.
This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.
For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments):
Fabric: maximum load
Cotton and mixed cotton:
2.5
kg
Synthetic garments: 2 kg
Jeans: 2 kg
Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not possi-
ble, repeat the programme.
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or
Tencel
®
do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).
Refresh
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments. It lasts about 20 minutes.
