Correctly prepare the laundry:

• close zips, button up duvet covers and attach loose ties or ribbons (e.g. ribbons of aprons) - laundry can tangle
• make sure the pockets are empty - remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc.).
• turn items with 2 fabric layers inside out (e.g. cotton lined anoraks, the cotton fabric layer must be external).
  Dry only:
• cotton and linen with Cottons (Katoen) programmes
  • synthetic and mixtures with Synthetics (Synthetica) programmes

8.1 Ecological hints

• Do not use fabric softener to wash and then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry becomes soft automatically.
• Use the condensate as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. If necessary clean the condensate before (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove possible small pieces of fluff.
• Always keep the airflow slots on the bottom of the appliance clear.
• Use the load volumes specified in the programmes chapter.
• Make sure that is good airflow in the appliance installation position.
• Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
• Spin good the laundry before drying.

8.2 Water hardness and conductivity

Water hardness can be different for different locations. Water hardness has an effect on the water conductivity and the operation of the conductivity sensor in the appliance. If you know the value of the water conductivity you can adjust the sensor to dry with the better results. To change the sensor conductivity:

1. Turn the programme dial to available programme.
2. Push at the same time the Dry Plus (Drogen Plus) and the Anticrease (Anti-kreuk) buttons. Hold down until one of the symbols go into view on the display:

3. [0] low conductivity <300 μS/ cm

4. CO= moderate conductivity 300-600 μS/cm

5. COE high conductivity >600 μS/cm

6. Push the Start Pause button again and again until you set necessary level.

7. To memorise the setting push at the same time the Dry Plus (Drogen Plus) and the Anticrease (Anti-kreuk) buttons.

8.3 Water container full — indication

2. Remove fluff from the filter socket. For this a vacuum cleaner can be used.

3. Put the filter inside the filter socket.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dryer without the filter or with damaged or blocked filter.

Clean the filter after each drying cycle. Clogged filter increases the cycle time and causes higher energy consumption.

9.2 Draining the condensed water container
