• Starched fabrics leave traces of starch in the drum, therefore they

should not be dried in the appliance.

• If the load to be dried exceeds the maximum weight indicated,

creasing may occur. For particularly delicate fabrics, the maximum load

should not exceed 1.5 kg.

• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is caused by wearing

the garments, 20 percent by washing and only 10 percent by drying

them in a tumble dryer. In your appliance, fluff accumulates in the

filter. Only 0.03g fluff per Kilo will be lost by your laundry when being

machine dried.

• During washing, try not to use fabric softeners!

If the laundry is machine dried, it will remain soft even without using

fabric softeners.

• Shake out your laundry!

Shake out the laundry before putting it into the dryer in order to

reduce the drying time and creasing.

•

Spin the laundry properly before drying it!

As a general rule, the more the laundry is spun, the more

economically your dryer works. In the following table, indications on

consumption are provided, according to the spin speed. The data

refers to 7 kg of laundry that have to be store dried.

•

Please observe the full load specifications!

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded, as

indicated in the programme charts.

• Select the correct drying programme!

Select the drying programme suited to the type and quantity of

laundry, so that your dryer will work more economically. Some

fore recommend that you adopt the following guidelines:

• cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed

• synthetics: drum no more than half full

Eiderdowns can be tumble dried only if the corresponding care

symbol is present.
