Close pillowcases and quilt covers to prevent small items from getting tangled inside them. What is fluff? When you begin to use your tumble dryer, you will be surprised to see the amount of fluff that accumulates in the fluff filter. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the tumble dryer is damaging the laundry being dried. When the tumble dryer is being used, as well as when items are washed by hand or in a washing machine, fibres and fluff are released by any laundry item and adhere to its surface. This also happens when fabrics are hung out to dry in outdoor environments. In a tumble dryer fibres and fluff accumulate in the fluff filter and increase in volume because of the heat inside the appliance. Never tumble dry the following: s s s Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, silk and nylon stockings. Items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam. Woollens or mixed-wool garments, as these will shrink and felt. Do not tumble dry items treated with inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks. Time and energy consumption Energy consumption and drying times vary according to the quantity, residual dampness after spinning, size and nature of the fabrics being dried and the degree of dryness. If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results will be obtained and the laundry will be creased. In order to reduce energy consumption and drying times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately. The use is recommended of a washing machine capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or more. Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried in the tumble dryer. Starched fabrics Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance. To obtain the best results, select `iron dry' drying time with residual dampness. Do not use solvents or abrasive substances. Cleaning condenser Remove fluff from condenser on a regular basis to avoid prolonging drying times and increasing energy consumption. Remove condenser by using the top handle. Clean condenser with a hand-held shower or a soft brush. Leave condenser to dry; when it is dry, place in original position. Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable. Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted. 10 P0636 P0639 Something Not Working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer.
