Before drying
– Wash heavily soiled items very
thoroughly, ensuring that you use
sufficient detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer Make sure that your
laundry is thoroughly spun before
drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
– New dark-coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately
from light-coloured garments the first
few times they are washed, to avoid
the risk of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
the plastic components in the tumble
dryer.
Dark-coloured fibres can also settle
on light-coloured garments and vice
versa.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Check the seams of padded or
down-filled items to prevent the risk
of fillings coming out. These could
catch fire in the tumble dryer.
– Tie together textile belts and apron
ties to stop them getting tangled.
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being trapped
inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes
etc.
– Stitch in or remove loose underwiring
from bras.
– Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
– For an even drying result, it is
important to...
. . . spin,
. . . shake out,
. . . and sort items according to
fabric type, size, care label and the
drying level required.
Notes and tips on laundry care

2. Load the tumble dryer
,Using the tumble dryer
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read
the "Warning and Safety instructions"
before using the tumble dryer.
,Make sure that objects, e.g.
detergent dispensing balls, have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.
– Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– To save energy, always observe the
maximum load for each programme
(see the separate booklet
"Commissioning, Programme chart
and Settings").
– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more the greater the load. This is
also the case for garments made
from very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses.
If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabrics.
3. Select a programme
– On many programmes, different
drying levels can be selected
depending on individual
requirements...
...e.g.Normal+ for laundry that you
want to fold and put away immedi-
ately after drying.
...e.g.Machine iron or Hand iron if
the laundry needs further processing
after drying.
See separate booklet
"Commissioning, Programme chart
and Settlings".
– For delicate fabrics with the rcare
label, select Low temperature as
well.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. Only dry these
fabrics in a Woollens programme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry
these textiles. When purchasing
these garments it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into
account.

Programme duration/Estimated time
remaining
When a programme is selected, the
estimated duration will appear in the
display. Please be aware that it is only
an estimate!
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics assess conditions in the
dryer and adjust the estimated time
remaining for a more accurate reading.
Because of this, the time displayed can
alter during the course of a programme.

phase is followed by the cooling down
phase: Cooling down will appear in the
