Drying
1 Load the laundry
Open the door by pulling
it outward.
Load the items one at a
time, shaking them out
loosely and close the
door.
Please check the laundry
does not get caught
between the door and
filter.
2 Select the required option
Depress Low Temperature or Refresh button, if
desired.
3 Select time
Turn the selector dial
clockwise to the required
minute setting (in the
high or low temperature
range, according to the
fabric): the mains-on light
illuminates and the ma-
chine starts operating.
4 When drying is completed
The machine stops automatically, the mains-on light
goes out.
If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief
drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 8 min-
utes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-crease
treatment phase.
Clean the filter after every drying programme. A
clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.

■ Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eider-
downs, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items
containing rubber foam or materials similar to rub-
ber foam.
■ Always follow the instructions on garment labels.
tumble dry normal (high temperature)
tumble dry delicate (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
■ Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
■ Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-
ing required.
■ Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
■ Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
■ Remove the laundry when the dryer 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.
