Do not overload the appliance

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common
laundry items.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed

the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the
drying time.

• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll

the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens,

and dry separately.

• Remove the laundry immediately after the programme

has finished.

• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We rec-

ommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (us-
ing a safety pin).

• Mix the load i. e. large and small articles.
• When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend

you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

• Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e. g.

petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.

• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping

bags.
