Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth, and synthetic fi bers. Garments will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signifi cant wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint fi lter consists of dust and fi ber residues formed when the items are used.
Materials that should not be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is not suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials may melt or become a fi re hazard if exposed to heat and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble dry
• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• fi berglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk of piling.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after tumble drying, you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.

NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the door. In both cases the program is stopped and starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program, immediately remove all laundry and spread it out to allow the heat to dissipate.

Operating instructions
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury to persons, read the "Important Safety
Instructions" section before operating this appliance.
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumble drying results.
3
Open the door, load the items, and then close the door
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.
To save energy, always observe the maximum load for each program (see Program chart).
1
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the items are made of the same type of material. Close zippers and fasten buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load and temperature.
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results and wrinkling.

Care and maintenance instructions
NOTE!
Clean the fi lters after each drying.
Do not replace the fi lters if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet fi lters could cause operational faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without the fi lters in place, or with damaged fi lters as excessive amount of accumulated fi bres from the fabric could cause malfunction or failure of the dryer.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use solvents, as these can damage the machine. Do not hose down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the machine. Keep the area around the tumble dryer clean and cool; dust, heat, and moisture prolong drying times.

• that the door is properly closed.
• that the main power switch is on.
• that any plug is connected.
• that the house fuses or circuit breaker have not been tripped.
• that the overheating cut-out has not been triggered.

• Clean the lint fi lter.
• Wait until the machine has cooled, then try starting it. If it still does not start: Call the
Customer Care Center.
Drying takes too long
• Check that the lint fi lter is not blocked. See the Care and maintenance instructions chapter.
