Attention!
Never tumble dry items that have been in contact
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These
are of a volatile nature and could cause an
explosion. Dry only fabrics washed in water.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether
garments can be machine dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:
Machine drying is usually possible
Normal drying (normal temperature)
Gentle drying (reduced temperature)
Do not machine dry
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed;
• the required degree of drying (extra dry, only for
cottons, store dry or iron dry);
• the type of laundry;
• the size of load.
The usual drying times are indicated in the
programme chart. As you become more familiar with
the appliance, you will discover the drying times that
best suit your needs according to the various type of
fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these
times.
Modification of the drying time
If you wish to modify the drying time when a drying
programme is running, first depress START/PAUSE
button to set the machine to PAUSE. After modifying
the time, depress START/PAUSE again to continue
the programme.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is
advisable to perform the gentle rinse cycle
to be
sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is
completely removed and does not stick to garments
dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be
checked and cleaned.
Additional drying
Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the
programme, set another short drying cycle.
Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or
shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.
