Easy Iron Program Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute Air Fluff period) which fluffs the fibers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibers and makes them easier to iron and fold. ! Easy Iron is not a drying program For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight: Fabric Maximum load Regular Cotton and Regular Cotton mix Permanent Press Denim 2. 5.5 Ib / 2.5 kg 41b/2kg 41b/2kg Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away. Should this not be possible, repeat the program. The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibers. Laundry Sorting your laundry Wash Care Labels • Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure that the articles can be tumble dried. • • • Sort laundry by fabric type. Empty pockets and check buttons. Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and strings. Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much excess water as possible. Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common: • D May be tumble dried }_ Do not tumble dry [] Tumble dry at high heat setting E_ Tumble dry at low heat setting ! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer. Maximum load size Do not load more than maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight: Natural fibres: 6 kg max (13 Ib) Synthetic fibres: 3 kg max (6.6 Ib) What not to tumble dry in your dryer: • !

If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying. 6 • Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable objects or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray). Glass fibres (certain types of draperies). Items which have been dry cleaned. Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items) }_. These can be cleaned with special at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully. Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer. Special clothing items Times are approximate upon: Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time. • Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water. • Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time. • Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry. Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer's drying instructions on the garment. Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is and can vary depending removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch. Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry. • Heat setting. • Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.

Do not over-dry your clothes. All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy. Maintenance and Care When you should switch off the electricity Check the drum after each cycle Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during maintenance activities. Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind. Cleaning the drum Clean the filter after each cycle The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. Small items could also become trapped in the filter. When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer. ! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.
