9. DRYING HINTS

9.1 Preparing The Drying
Cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on con-
densation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water into
a sink or into the drain pipe, even during
the drying cycle.
ATTENTION
Before starting the drying program.
Make sure the load size does not ex-
ceed the maximum drying capacity of
the machine. In order to obtain good
performances. (Refer page 11)
9.2 Laundry Not Suitable For
Drying
• Particularly delicate items such as
synthetic curtains, woollen and silk,
garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as
anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping
bags and duvets must not be machine
dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as these can attract fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the
appliance has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying
is completed, use either a fabric
softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam during washing.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent
a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of
setting lotions or hair sprays, nail
solvents or similar solutions must not
be machine dried to avoid formation of
harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments
of the dispenser drawer before starting
the wash program.
If using liquid detergents, a
program without prewash must
be selected.
