Brief instructions

The headings numbered (

,

...)

show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide to using your
machine.

A

Sort the laundry

To ensure even drying results sort
washed laundry according to:
. . . the drying level required
. . . the type of fibre or weave
. . . size
. . . the moisture content after spinning.

,

Make sure that objects e.g.

detergent dispensing balls have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt, and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.

– Check seams and stitching to ensure

that padding and linings are intact.

– Fasten duvet covers and pillow

cases to prevent small items from
being trapped inside them.

– Fasten zips, hooks and eyes etc.

– Tie fabric belts and apron strings.

– Sew in or remove underwiring from

bras.

B

Turn on the tumble dryer

^

Switch the dryer on by pressing the

I-On/0-Off

button in.

The tumble dryer may be switched on
after loading, saving energy as the light
will not come on.

C

Load the tumble dryer

^

Press the

door

button to open the

door.

^

Load the laundry loosely into the
drum.

Do not overload the drum. See the
"Programme chart" for
recommended loads for each
programme.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.

^

Before closing the door make sure
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in
the door.

Check the laundry is right inside the
drum so that it cannot get trapped or
damaged when the door is shut.

^

Shut the door either with a gentle
swing, or lean against it and push it
shut.
