Important! Do not place in the appliance any
wet laundry which is not specified on the care
label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry
items which are labelled as suitable for tum-
ble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together
with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with
the Extra droog (Extra) programme.
Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried
using the Wol (Wool) programme. Be-
fore the drying cycle spin the woollen tex-
tiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm).
Only dry woollen textiles together of similar
or the same material, colour and weight.
Please dry heavy laundry items made of
wool separately.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (pa-
per clips, safety pins, etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics in-
side out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.
Important! Do not overload the appliance.
Observe max. loading volume of 8 kg.
