)cDo not tumble dry.
Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) athese may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Before drying for the first time
– Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the programme selector to Timed Programme
(apage 7) and select Start/Pause. At the end of the programme, turn the programme
selector to Off.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry arisk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer
apage 7, Woollens finish programme (depending on model).
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while
aresidual moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
aDo not use the Cupboard Dry extra programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers astarch leaves behind a coating that
reduces the drying effect.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of
fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine ahigher spin speeds minimise
the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
aProgramme overview, page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle aClean the fluff filter, page 4/11.
