32
Possible cause
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
Feathers are a natural
product and this is quite
normal.
Synthetic fibers tend to
attract static charge.
Lint is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and to some extent when
they are being washed.
Machine drying hardly
causes any lint to form
and has no appreciable
effect on the lifetime of
the fabric.
Remedy
– Finish drying using the
Hot air program (timed
drying).
– Next time, select a
more suitable program
(see "Program chart" in
the separate booklet
"Commissioning,
Program chart and
Settings").
The smell will dissipate
after sufficient airing.
Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
program or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.
Lint is collected by the lint
filter and can be easily
removed (see "Cleaning
and care").
