Easy Care cycle This is a short programme of approximately 10 minutes to condition previously dried clothes, see section "Easy Care Programme". It consists of a period of heating followed by a short cool tumble period (as detailed below). It should not be used on damp loads as it is NOT a drying programme. Whenever the door is opened and there is power supplied to the dryer, the light marked `Filter Care' will glow. This light advises the user to check the filter is clear of fluff. It does not necessarily mean that the filter is blocked or that there is anything wrong with the dryer. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying.

Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring `special attention' (see"Wash Care Labels" section).
