Lint filter Outer door Advice and tips before you tumble-dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying. Static electricity Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy and reduce drying time. To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after tumble drying you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends before opening the door and removing the laundry from the dryer. Materials that can be tumble-dried NOTE! NOTE! You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the Stop button for three seconds or by opening the door. In both cases the programme is stopped and starts from the beginning if restarted. If you do not want to restart the programme then immediately remove all laundry and spread it out to allow the heat to dissipate. Have the clothes been spun? This symbol means that the material is suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry. The tumble dryer does not cause any significant wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint filter consists of dust and fibre residues formed when the items are used. Materials that must not be tumbledried This symbol means that the material is not suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink. And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• fibreglass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the risk of felting.
