8.3 Preparing the Laundry to Be Dried

Items such as coins, metal parts, needles, nails, screws, stones etc. may damage the drum group of the product or may cause functional operation issues. Therefore check all laundry that will be loaded to the product.

  • Dry the laundry with metal accessories such as zippers by turning them inside out.
  • Close the zippers, hooks and clasps, button up the covers' buttons, tie textile belts and apron belts.

8.4 What to Do for Energy Saving

Use the highest possible spinning cycle as you wash the laundry. Therefore you can reduce the drying period and reduce energy consumption. Sort the laundry based on their types and thickness. Dry same types of laundry together. For instance thin kitchen towels and table cloths dry faster than thick bathroom towels.

  • Follow the recommendations in the user's manual for program selection.
  • During drying do not open the loading door unless necessary. If you are required to open the loading door, do not keep it open for too long.
  • Do not add wet laundry as the drying machine operates.
  • Clean the Fiber Filter before and after each drying session.
  • For models with condensation, be sure to clean the condenser regularly at least once a month or after 30 drying sessions.
  • Make sure the filters are clean. Refer to the maintenance and cleaning section for details.
  • For models with a flue, follow the flue connection rules specified in the guides and clean the flue.
  • During the drying session, properly ventilate the environment where the drying machine is located.
  • In models with a heat pump, check the condenser at least every six months and clean it if it is dirty.
  • If you are using an environment-friendly filter, you are not required to clean the filter after every cycle. When the environment-friendly icon is lit on the screen, change the filter cloth.

9.14 General Description of Steam Cycles

Steam cycles

You may use the steam function in cycles that are marked with a blue line in your machine panel. It is necessary to use the dryer grouping your clothes depending on their types and thicknesses when you use a cycle with the steam function active. Do not dry wool, leather, or clothes that contain metal parts in this cycle. Extra noise may be generated during steam generation in steam cycles. Depending on the type, amount of laundry and the selected cycle, the result of wrinkle release and odour removal processes may differ. Upon completion of steam cycles, laundry should be immediately extracted from the machine and hung on a hanger.

Getting the machine ready

Steam tank must be filled before the initial use of the steam functioned cycles. Therefore, when using the machine for the first time, it is required to dry laundry using a steam-functioned cycle or a cycle with the steam function inactive.

How to activate the steam cycle

When you turn on the machine and rotate the cycle navigator to the 'Ready to Wear' or 'Steam Refresh' cycles, the indicator in the image below will turn on.
