52
Cause and remedy
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
 Finish drying using the Warm air timed drying
programme.
 Select a different programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some
programmes. See "Settings menu".
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite
normal.
 Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
 Allow feather pillows to air after tumble drying.
 Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory).
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
 Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
conditioner to the final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.
Fluff 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 fluff
to form and has no appreciable effect on the lifetime
of the fabric.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
 See "Cleaning and care".
