Please read this instruction book
thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with
a damp cloth to remove any dust which
may have settled in transit.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to
dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer,
as shown by the care symbols on each
item. Check that all fastenings are closed
and that pockets are empty. Turn the
articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in
the drum to make sure that they don't get
tangled.
Silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery,
fabrics with metallic decorations, garments
with PVC or leather trimmings.
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which
has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried.
The drier the laundry the shorter the drying
time thus saving electricity.
