Notes on laundry

Labelling of fabrics

Check the following fabric symbols:

DRYING
	Can be dried in a tumble-dryer
	Wring out and hang on a washing line to dry
[T5ST]	Do not wring, hang out wet to dry
	Wring out, lay on a flat surface to dry
	Do not dry in a tumble-dryer
	Dry at normal temperatures
	Dry at low temperatures

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

☐ Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
☐ Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) – they may crease
☐ Dripping-wet laundry – high energy consumption
☐ Wool or fabrics containing wool.
□ Observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips on drying

Important for all drying cycles:

☐ To obtain a uniform drying result: sort the laundry by fabric type and drying program.
Fasten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts, apron strings etc, together.
☐ Do not over-dry easy-care laundry: Risk of creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
☐ Do not over-dry laundry.
☐ Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Leave laundry folded up for a short while. This helps the residual moisture to distribute evenly.

First use

1. Open the door.
2. Place the laundry into the empty drum.

i Ensure that the drum contains only laundry.

3. Press Start button M.

Selecting a program

Selecting

Your dryer offers different drying times and the additional Low heat J function (see page 16).

Our drying programs are designed to protect your laundry with minimum energy consumption. Due to residual heat after drying, your laundry feels damper than it really is.

If the dryness of the laundry is not sufficient after cooling down, use a longer drying time or continue drying.

The following table gives drying times for 5 kg of laundry at different spin speeds for the Cupboard dry programme.

Type of washing	Drying temperature	Additional function	Spin speed
		Low heat	1200 rpm	800 rpm
			Drying time (min) W
Cottons + linens 5 kg	Cupboard dry	-	70	110
	Cupboard dry + Low heat	*	80	130
	Iron dry	-	50	90
	Iron dry + Low heat	*	60	110
Easy-care 2.5 kg			1000 rpm	800 rpm
	Cupboard dry	-	25	55
	Cupboard dry + Low heat	*	30	60
	Iron dry	-	20	40
	Iron dry + Low heat	*	25	45
Cool air S				Max. 10

Deviations from the specified values may occur due to differences in the composition of the laundry, the quantity of laundry, power fluctuations and the room temperature and humidity.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the dryer

Risk of explosion

There is a risk of explosion from solvents.

Never use solvents for cleaning.

The dryer may be damaged if it is not cleaned correctly. Do not spray the dryer with a water jet. Do not use abrasive agents or general-purpose cleaners.

☐ Clean the housing and the control panel with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.

Fluff filter

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with a textured square and directional arrow, no visible text or symbols

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle.

Bobbling (fluff) occurs when fabrics become worn. These bobbles come off during the drying cycle and collect in the fluff filter.

A clogged filter results in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

1. Open the door.
2. Pull the filter out towards the top.
3. Remove the fluff (by drawing your hand across the filter).
4. Replace the filter (it can only be inserted one way round).
5. Close the door.

Setting up the dryer

Never place the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with the hinge on the opposing side to the appliance.

Position the appliance so that the door of the tumble dryer can be opened unimpeded.

That exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

☐ The dryer must be positioned so it is level on the floor. Use a spirit level to ensure that this is the case. The height of the feet can be adjusted. If necessary, use these to line the dryer up, as described below:
☐ Loosen the counter nuts.
☐ Turn the feet so that they compensate for the height of the machine.
☐ Retighten the counter nuts.
