Iron Dry
This programme shuts off the heat once
the load is just damp enough for ironing or
pressing.
Timed dry 60 min
The Timed dry programme has a fixed dry-
ing time and tumble-dries the load for 60
minutes.
Air fluff 60 min
Use the Air fluff programme when you just
want to refresh, air or soften up items.
Select options
By selecting options, you can tailor
drying programmes to suit your own
laundry requirements. The machine
remembers which settings and options
you choose for each pro-
gramme and uses these
(with one exception
- Delayed Start) the next
time you select the pro-
gramme in question. You
can, of course, change
them again if you wish.
Low Temperature
Select or deselect Low Temperature by
pressing the Temperature button.
Once Low Temperature has been selected,
the red field next to the button lights up.
Anti-crease
This option means that the drum will rotate
three seconds per minute for two hours
once the drying programme has finished.
This option prevents the items remaining in
the same position and becoming creased.
A useful feature if you are not able to re-
move the load as soon as tumble-drying
has finished.
A lighted red field by the button indicates
that the Anti-crease option has been acti-
vated.
Below are step-by-step instructions to
help you achieve the best possible tumble-
drying results.
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform dry-
ing results if the items are the same
material.
Do up zips and buttons, fasten belts, sort
the items and adjust load and temperature.
Turn on the main power
switch
Open the door, load the items
and then close the door
Select programme
The choice of programme depends
on what you intend to do with the
items after tumbling. The programme
options are Extra Dry, Dry, Normal Dry, Iron
Dry, Timed programme and Airing.
Extra Dry
This programme is for items that are par-
ticularly difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very
thick seams.
Note!
Knit fabrics in particular are prone to shrink-
age. Use the Dry, Normal Dry or Iron Dry
programmes for such items. Stretch clothes
back into shape immediately after drying.
Dry, Normal Dry
These programmes shut off the heat once
the load is dry without being “bone-dry”.
The Dry programme shuts off the heat
slightly later than Normal Dry. Use trial and
error to find out what works best. Use these
programmes when you want items to be
completely dry.
