68
Cause and remedy
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
 Finish drying using the Warm air timed drying pro‐
gramme.
 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 nor‐
mal.
 Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
 Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
 Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory) for your favourite fragrance.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
 Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
conditioner to the final rinse in the washing pro‐
gramme.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are be‐
ing washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to
form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
 See "Cleaning and care".
