in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches. Do not use the tumble dryer if chemicals have been used for cleaning. Oil-soaked items ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the item can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-soaked items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

WARNING Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

The last phase of the drying cycle is done without heat (cool down phase), to assure that the laundry stays at a temperature level which is not leading to a damaging of the laundry. INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT This appliance is designed solely for domestic usage. 3

ENERGY SAVING TIPS Always dry a full load, depending on the type of laundry and the programme/drying time. For more detailed information, see the programme chart.

By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your appliance, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. You will save time and energy when running your drying cycle. Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results. Select the Delicates program only in case of drying small loads. When drying cotton, for example, dry Iron Dry and Cupboard Dry loads together. Start with the Iron Dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the Cupboard Dry setting.
