2. The dryer should be installed in a clean, dust-free location. Air must be able to circulate freely

around the appliance. Never obstruct the air intake located at the front, or the air intake grilles located at the rear of the machine.

3. In order to minimise vibration and noise while the dryer is operating, the appliance should be

placed on a firm level surface.

Jeans Using the appliance NOTE : This symbol is associated with the energy efficiency of the standard cotton program. The latter complies with the current EN 61121 standard and is more suited to drying standard cotton textiles loaded according to the set capacity.

• Thick or multi-layered fabrics, including bed linen, jeans, jackets, etc., are not easy to dry.
• It is therefore advisable to use the Cotton Extra program for this type of laundry.
• With unusual fabrics and thick, multi-layered clothing that are not easy to dry, it is best to choose the appropriate program and drying time as some parts may remain damp after the program is completed. NOTE :
• For minimum drying efficiency, please note that it takes about 75 minutes for your appliance to dry an amount of cotton laundry equal to 70% of the maximum allowable load. Laundry, which has already been spun-dried in a washing machine, will go from about 60% humidity to 12% humidity, making it easier to iron. Hot air Time Shirts > My cycle My cycle Special Program
