observe when drying:

Before loading the machine make sure that there is no
foreign body or maybe a trapped animal in the drum.
Dry clean laundry in the dryer only.
The tumbler dryer is not to be used if chemicals have
been used for cleaning. ltems that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kero sene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble
dryer.
ltems such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
water proof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
A drying procedure should always end with fully com-
pleted cooling-off, so that the laundry remains at a tem-
perature that does not damage them. If the drying pro-
cedure is ended prematurely without cooling-off, all of
the laundry must be removed quickly and spread out so
that the heat can be given off. Here one should be
aware that the laundry can cause burns upon contact
with skin due to its temperature and moisture. Appro-
priate hand protection is therefore to be worn.
Keep pets away from the machine.
Only use the machine in the home for drying textiles.
Do not reach into the rotating drum after the end of the
programme.

When transporting your machine:

Take care when transporting the machine! (risk of injury!)
Do not lift the machine by the fittings on the front!
How to dry correctly
and environmentally friendly

Sorting the laundry

Pay attention to the drying symbols on your
fabrics.
Dry at normal temperature.
Dry at low temperature
Do not tumble dry.
Dry textiles only which have been washed in water.
To achieve even drying results, sort the laundry by fabric
type and desired level of dryness.

Load

 Your dryer will be most environmentally friendly and
economical if you fill the machine with the maximum
laundry load. (See chapter «Programme table»)
 Do not exceed the maximum load, because overfilling
affects the drying result and severely creases the laundry.
 Remove as much water as possible from the laundry
before drying by spinning in a washing machine or spin
dryer. The higher the spin speed, the shorter the drying
time and lower the energy consumption.
 You should also spin easy care laundry.

Tips for drying

 Do up all zips, hooks and eyes. Button up duvet
covers and pillowcases. Tie together loose belts, apron
strings etc.
 Remove easy care laundry from the dryer in a slightly
damp state if possible (Select target dryness «Light
Drying») and allow to finish drying in the air. Over drying
causes creases.
 Shake the laundry slightly and place it loosely into the
drum, mix big and small textiles.
 Laundry which is still too damp after drying a load of
widely varying fabrics can be dried further using the
programme «Time drying».
 Knitted fabrics, e.g. jersey underwear, can shrink
slightly during drying. Do not use the «Extra Dry»
programme for these fabrics.
 Dry wool or textiles containing wool with the special
programme «Wool Finish» only: risk of felting!
 If one single piece is to be dried in the dryer, it will be
dried more evenly by adding additional pieces as ballast,
e.g. two terry towels.
Do not dry the following fabrics in the machine:
 Wringing wet laundry: waste of energy!
 Do not dry laundry in the machine which was treated
with inflammable solvents, e.g. with stain remover or
spirit vinegar (explosion hazard!).
 Do not dry textiles in the dryer which contain any
foam rubber or have been in contact / covered with
setting lotion, nail polish remover or similar agents (fire
hazard!).
