Information on laundry ...
Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
Drying at normal temperature.
Low-temperature drying in addition, select (Low heat).
Do not machine dry.
Be sure to follow the safety instructions see page 11!
For example, do not use the dryer for the following fabrics:
– Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) they may crease.
– Laundry contaminated with oil.
Before drying for the first time
– Do not put any laundry in the dryer. Set the programme selector to a timed programme
( see page 7) and select (Start/Pause). When the programme has finished, set the
programme selector to O (Off).
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. hand towels).
– Fasten zips, hooks and eyelets, button covers and tie together cloth belts, strips, etc.
– Do not overdry easy-care laundry risk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while the
remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T shirts, knitwear) often shrink when tumble dried for the first time
do not use the Very Dry programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when
(Easy-iron)
washing the laundry to be dried subsequently.
– Using a timed programme with a small laundry load optimisation of the drying result.
Environmental protection/energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine the higher the spin
speed, the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended fill level but do not overload laundry
overview of programmes, see page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle see page 4.
