5. Starting the programme
Starting a programme
Touch the flashing Start/Add laundry
sensor.
The Start/Add laundry sensor lights up
and Drying appears in the display.
Notes
If a Delay start time has been selected,
it will count down in the time display. At
the end of the Delay start time or
immediately after the programme has
started (if no Delay start time has been
selected), the programme duration will
appear in the time display.
With a longer Delay start time, the drum
will rotate occasionally to untangle the
laundry. This is not a fault.
- The PerfectDry indicator will only
flash/light up with programmes with
selectable drying levels (see also
"Operating the tumble dryer").
- The dryer measures the residual
moisture of the laundry and
calculates the required programme
duration.
If a small load or dry laundry is
placed in the dryer, it is dried/aired
for a preset duration. In this case the
PerfectDry indicator does not light up
at the end of the programme.
Laundry items and fabrics can wear
out unnecessarily.
Avoid over-drying laundry and
garments.

The drying level reached for the

The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
Adding laundry
You can add laundry after the

"Changing the programme sequence"
