An unsatisfactory drying result

Problem
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
Laundry or feather
filled pillows smell
after drying.
Items made of
synthetic fibres are
charged with static
electricity after
drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.
34
Possible cause
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
Note: You can alter the
residual moisture level for
some programmes
– Laundry was washed
with insufficient
detergent.
– Feathers are a natural
product and this is quite
normal.
Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.
Fluff is principally the result
of friction when garments
are being worn and to some
extent when they are being
washed. Machine drying
causes less fluff to form.
Remedy
– Finish drying using the
Warm air programme.
– Select a different
programme next time.
See "Programmable
functions".
– Laundry: Use sufficient
detergent.
– Pillows: The smell will
dissipate after airing.
Static charge can be
reduced by adding fabric
conditioner to the final rinse
in the washing programme
or a fabric conditioner sheet
to the load when drying.
Fluff is collected by the fluff
filters and can be removed
easily (see "Cleaning and
care").
