TYPES OF CLOTHES AND FABRICS
Chapter III
- USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Types of clothes that can be treated in the Driron.
• The
Driron
does not cause wear to clothes since they do not move throughout the entire process.
They do not rub against each other and the warm air flows over them while they are dried and
ironed at moderate temperatures. There is no risk of fading, since they are not exposed to the
sun. The deterioration of the fabric fibres is reduced as direct contact with the iron is avoided or
minimised. The
Driron
processes do not use chemical products.
As a result, there are very few limitations to the
Driron.

• It can also treat fabrics made with synthetic fibres only (conventional
polyester, polyamide, lycra, elastane or combinations of these fibres).
However, given the popularity of synthetic fibres in recent years, we
recommend caution and advise you to look at the manufacturer’s
recommendations for drying the fabrics. In any case, it is advisable
to position them as far away as possible from the hot-air intake grille
at the bottom of the wardrobe, making sure they do not slip and fall
on it. Place them on the hangers at the top or, if they do not crease,
use the top basket.
• The
Driron
can be used for all kinds of everyday clothing, shirts,
T-shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts and, in general, for all machine-
washable clothes.
• It can also be used for household linen, sheets, pillowcases, towels,
kitchen cloths, etc.
• It also has a basket for drying small clothes (socks, underwear,
etc.), which do not normally need to be ironed.
•
Take particular care
with light knitwear, which should never be
hung for drying, since it stretches easily. Given that this clothing
does not normally crease, it can be placed in the top basket.
• Clothes made of leather, suede, plastic, fur and, in general, clothes
that may be damaged by damp and heat
must not be treated in
the Driron.
For this type of clothing, use only the airing and
deodorisation programmes.
Treating the different types of fibres and fabrics
• The
Driron
can treat fabrics made from all kinds of natural fibre, cotton, linen, wool, silk, flannel,
viscose, etc. or fabrics made from combinations of these fibres. It can also treat fabrics which
contain a certain percentage of synthetic fibres.
