Tips on saving energy
To save energy, moneyand time,
Siemens recommends the
following:
Drain the laundry thoroughly!
Before drying, spin the laundry
thoroughly
in the washing
machine. Use the highest
possible spin speed forthe type
of laundry! Higherspin speeds
reduce the drying time and the
energy consumption.
-Use optimum load!
Use maximum recommended
loads. However,
do not exceed
loads.
-Clean filter!
Clean the filter before and after
each drying process
(see page 16).
-Ventilate the room!
During the drying process
provide
an adequate supply
of fresh air.
-Do not dry unsuitable
materials!
Do not dry rubberized
or
air-tight items.
Before using
the dryer for
the first time
Before you use the dryerforthefirst
time:

instructions carefully.
2. Checkthat the supplyvoltage
corresponds with the voltage
specifications on the rating
plate
of the dryer, see rear side
of the dryer.
3. Remove all objects from the
drum.
4. Checkthe dryer for visible
damage. If damages found

5. Wipe the inside of the drum
with a
damp cloth.
6. Conduct an appliance test,
see page 8.
7. Ifthe dryer does not work,

valuable information as well as
limitations about the drying
process.
Do not dry the following textiles in
the dryer:
Air-tight textiles
(e.g. rubberized).
-Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains).
Drying tips
In principle, the following applies to
all drying programs:
-To ensure a uniform drying
result, sort the laundry
according
to fabric type and
drying program.
-Fasten zippers, hooks and
eyes. Fasten loose belts, apron
strings, etc
..
-Do not overdry easy-care
laundry -risk
of wrinkling!
Leave laundry
to dry in the air.
Do not iron laundry immediately
after drying. Place the laundry
in a pile for a short while.
Residual moisture will then be
distributed uniformly.
-Knitted textiles (e.g. T-shirts,
cotton jersey laundry) often
shrinkwhen dried for the first
time. Do
not use the very
dry/extra dry program.

Program
selection
For optimum drying results your
dryer offers several program groups
and additional options.
Select the required drying program
from the program table according
to the examples (see page 21).
Automatic programs
There are automatic programs for
different types
of textiles
(regular/cotton, permanent press).

The program sequence of
automatic programs is controlled
via sensors. The duration
of the
program depends on the measured
