How to Dry Correctly

Prepare the Laundry

^ As far as possible, sort laundry for:

– the type of fibre or weave

– the degree of dryness required

– similar size of items

– the moisture content after spinning.

This will help towards achieving an even drying result.

^ Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

^ Do up zippers and tie fabric belts and apron strings.

Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

See the program chart for maximum loads.

^ Before closing the door check that the lint filter is correctly positioned.

Important: Please check that items of laundry cannot be trapped by the door, as this will cause damage to the fabric.

Make sure there is no detergent dispenser ball etc. in with the laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.

Load the Drum

^ Press the door button a and open the door.

^ Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

^ Shut the door with a firm swing.

How to dry correctly

Select a program

^ Turn the program selector to the program required.

^ Select low temperature L if required.

If the machine is fitted with a coin mechanism / time counter:

^ Insert coins or tokens.

Remember to empty the coin / token box regularly, so that it does not become blocked.

For further information on operating the dryer with a coin mechanism / time counter see "Installation".

Start a program

^ Press the Start h button.

At the end of a program

^ Turn the program selector to the r End position.

^ Press the door a button to open the door.

^ Press the Light n button.

^ Remove the laundry from the dryer.

Make sure that the drum is empty.

If items are left in the dryer, they could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is next used.

If laundry is not taken out of the dryer at the end of the program the dryer will commence an anti-crease phase, during which the drum rotates at timed intervals to keep the laundry suspended and reduce the risk of creasing.

^ To save both energy and operation time the fluff filter in the door should be cleaned after every program

(see "Cleaning and Care").

^ Shut the door when you have finished. As a safety precaution do not leave the door open when not in use.
