8. DAILY USE
8.1 Preparing the laundry
Very often the clothes after
washing cycle are kneaded
and tangled altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled
clothes is inefficient.
To assure proper air flow
and even drying it is
recommended to shake and
load one by one the clothes
to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
• Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g.
apron ribbons). Tie them before you
start a programme.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer
made of cotton inside out. Cotton
layer must be faced outwards.
• Always set the programme suitable
for the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours
together.
• Use suitable programme for cottons,
jersey and knitwear to reduce
shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load
stated in the programmes chapter or
shown on the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable
for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric
label on the items.
• Do not dry large and small items
together. Small items can be trapped
inside the large items and remain wet.

before placing in the tumble dryer. It is
to avoid moist places inside the fabric
after the drying cycle.

10.4 Cleaning the humidity
sensor
CAUTION!
Risk of humidity sensor
damage. Do not use
abrasive materials or steel
wool to clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the
appliance is equipped with metal
humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner
side of the door area.
Over usage time the surface of the
sensor may get dirty what deteriorates
the drying performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at
least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the
drop of drying performance.
