sufficiently dry.

pillows smell after
drying.

tumble drying.

Possible cause and remedy
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
 Finish drying using the Timed drying warm air
programme.
The laundry could not be untangled in the programme
you selected. Smaller items have rolled up into one.
 Untangle the laundry.
 Select the Large items programme.
If the Large items programme does not appear in the
display for selection, you can activate it later.
How to activate a programme subsequently is
described in "Supervisor level – Opening the
Supervisor level" and "Programme selection/
Programme packages".
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers are a natural product and may develop
odours when exposed to heat.
 Laundry: Wash with sufficient detergent next time.
 Pillows: Take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
 Static charge can be reduced by adding fabric
softener to the final rinse in the washing
programme.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are
being washed. Tumble drying hardly causes any fluff
to form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and fine filters and
can easily be removed.
