Check that the tumble dryer is undamaged. If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the seller immediately. Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play with it. [. . . ] The higher the spin speed, the faster your tumble dryer will dry the load and the more energyefficient the whole process will be. Even permanent press garments such as shirts should be spun for 10 to 30 seconds before tumble drying. Items which should not be tumble dried Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains of synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles with a metal component and nylon socks/ stockings. Garments made mostly from foam rubber or rubberlike materials must not be dried in the tumble dryer. Obviously, you must not dry garments in the machine which are unsuitable for tumble drying. These are usually labelled with this symbol. Garments which have been treated with flammable liquids (benzine, alcohol, stain removal products) should not be dried in the tumble dryer on account of the risk of fire. Always follow the recommendations of the garment/item manufacturer. Tumble drying beneficial Dry flat Getting the load size right An overloaded tumble dryer will cause creasing. Drying loads which are too small is uneconomical. Fluff The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced. This is perfectly normal, and does not mean that your tumble dryer is wearing out your clothes. When garments are worn and washed by hand or machine, fibres and fluff are released, but remain on the surface of the material. If dried outdoors on a line these fibres will be blown away by the wind. In a tumble dryer the fluff is collected in the filter and accumulates through the drying process. This is very significant to those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Shrinkage Depending on their quality, tricot fabrics in particular vary considerably in their tendency to shrink. To avoid shrinking, garments should not be overdried. Where it occurs, shrinkage can sometimes be rectified by stretching. We recommend that you bear possible shrinkage in mind when choosing the size of new tricot garments. -7- Programme chart The programs can be divided into two types: automatic programs and timed programs.

First make quite sure that the drum contains nothing other than the load of laundry before restarting the dryer by pressing the start button. -9- Maintenance Cleaning the filters For your tumble dryer to function properly, the filters need to be cleaned before or after every load dried. [. . . ] The temperature in the room should not exceed +35°C when the dryer is operating. If it does, open a door or window while the dryer is on. The dryer uses the air in the room for cooling. The area around the dryer should be as dust-free as possible. [. . . ]
