moisture in the laundry. After a long period of operation, a fine layer of limescale may form
on the sensors.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensors using a slightly damp sponge with a rough
surface.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive materials.

For example, do not use the dryer for the following fabrics:
– Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) athey may crease.
– Laundry contaminated with oil.
Before drying for the first time

(asee page 7) and select Start/Stop. When the programme has finished, set the
programme selector to Off.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent 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. hand towels).

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers astarch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when
washing the laundry to be dried subsequently.
– Using a timed programme with a small laundry load aoptimisation of the drying result.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine athe higher the spin
speed, the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended fill level but do not overload laundry
aoverview of programmes, see page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle asee page 4.
– Do not block or seal the air inlet.
