Drying Hints
Preparing the drying
cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the
condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be
open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain
pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme,
reduce the loads of washed laundry, in order
to obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for
drying
• Particularly delicate items such as
synthetic curtains, woollen and silk,
garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and
duvets must not be machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance
has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a
fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must not
be machine dried; they represent a fire
hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine
dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of
the dispenser drawer before starting the
wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and
do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer’s labels:
•
= May be tumble dried
• = Drying at high temperature
• = Drying at reduced temperature
• = Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store
dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying
are indicated in the «Drying programmes»
chapter. The experience will help you to dry
your laundry in a more suitable way,
