Advice and tips before you tumble-dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying. Have the clothes been spun? Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy and reduce drying time. Materials that can be tumble-dried Static electricity To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after tumble drying you can: • Use fabric softener when washing.
Tumble drying Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumble-drying results. 1 Sort your fabrics You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the items are made of the same type of material.

Tumble drying Programme chart Here we present the energy and time consumption of a few different programmes. The table shows the effect of using different spin speeds when washing the load. Consumption can vary depending on room temperature, humidity, load, variations in the power supply and selected options.
Tumble drying 5 Press the Start button Remaining drying time An estimate of the remaining drying time will be shown on the display a few minutes after the drying programme starts. For example, "1:35" means that it will take approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes for the load to dry. The actual remaining time may be longer than the estimated time shown on the display. The remaining time is then shown as "0:15" until the load is sufficiently dry.

Installation WARNING! Do not start the machine until it has been in position for 24 hours. If for some reason the tumble dryer needs to be laid down for transport or service, it must be laid on its left side viewed from the front. Positioning the tumble dryer The tumble dryer can be free-standing or in a stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces heat and should therefore not be located in a room that is too small. If the room is very small, drying will take longer due to the limited quantity of air.
Installation 4. Attach the plastic cups for fixing the tumble dryer’s front feet to the washing machine’s top cover. This is essential, as only when the tumble dryer’s feet are resting in the plastic cups can you be sure that the tumble dryer is correctly positioned on the washing machine. Break off tag A on the cup fitted on the right-hand side and tag B on the cup fitted on the left-hand side. Then remove the paper from the self-adhesive surface under the plastic cups. 8.
Installation Condensed water The machine is supplied as shown in Option 1 (inset). This means that the condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container, which must be removed and emptied by hand. Option 2 allows you to remove the small short hose from the nipple. Attach the rubber hose supplied to the same nipple. The water can then be pumped out into a sink or a floor drain (2a).
