we suggest that you unfold the rolled up
items, redistribute them evenly in the
drum and select an additional drying cy-

FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING
PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge-
cloth, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This drawback increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is
recommended:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light colored fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especial-
ly) and vice versa.
• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they
are washed the first time.
• To clean the filter.
• Perform one or more rinse cycles to
wash the drum between the washing
and drying of fabrics with different col-
ors.
• After the drying phase, thoroughly
clean the empty drum, the gasket and
the door with a wet rag.
