Environmental tips
In the drying cycle the laundry be­comes fluffy and soft. Fabric soften­ers are not therefore needed when washing.
Filtered condensed water can be used for Iron Aid programmes.
The appliance works most economi­cally in the drying programmes if you:
– spin the laundry well before drying.

Special notes about Iron Aid
The following textiles cannot be treated using an Iron Aid pro­gramme: woollen knitwear, leather, textiles with large metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rusting metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton gar­ments.
To smooth or freshen laundry with an Iron Aid programme, sort laundry by size, weight, material and colour. Only smooth textiles together that are similar in terms of size, weight, material and colour.
Do not dry new, coloured textiles to­gether with light-coloured laundry items. Colours may fade (check col­our fastness of fabric when damp in an inconspicuous area).
Preparing laundry - general
To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).
Turn items with double-layered fab­rics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
Special notes about Iron Aid
Before treating garments with an Iron Aid programme, remove stains by washing or using localised stain re­moval.
Starting up for the first time
Switching appliance on / switch­ing light on

Fill water tank
You must fill up the water tank before using an Iron Aid programme for the first time. Use the distilled water provided if there is not yet any condensed water from previous drying programmes (see chapter on ‘Cleaning and Maintenance, Emptying condensed water container’). If, after an Iron Aid programme is select­ed, the water tank indicator on the display lights up, you will need to fill up the water tank with distilled water. Oth­erwise, you will not be able to start any Iron Aid programme.
Important Only fill the water tank with distilled or fully desalinated water. Do not use tap water or addi­tives! You can also use the con­densed water from the tank, as long as you filter it first (use the canister supplied with the filter fitted: see figure opposite).
1. Pull drawer containing condensed water container out a little (1), then pull out the water tank’s filler neck (2).
2. Fill with distilled water from the can­ister provided, up to the MAX mark inside the container.
3. Push filler neck and drawer with con­densed water container back in.
When dry, all textiles not specifically prohibited in the chapter ‘Sorting and preparing laundry’ may be treated with the Iron Aid Steam Sys­tem. Wet textiles may only be treat­ed if they are labelled as suitable for dry programmes.

All information on applications is for guidance only. Smoothing results may vary depending on the selected programme and especially the fit­tings and material properties of the textile. The results can be improved if necessary by using different pro­grammes and steam volumes. For example, some textiles containing more than 20% synthetics but with the right fittings may behave more like cotton textiles in an Iron Aid programme. You may therefore get better smoothing results by select­ing a cotton Iron Aid programme.
Given the wide range of different textile grades and properties that can be manufactured today using different mechanical and chemical processes, we recommend running the first few Iron Aid programmes at low steam levels and with a small number of garments that are as sim­ilar as possible. Later, you can care­fully start to vary the conditions of Iron Aid programmes to learn from experience how to get the best re­sults from the volume of laundry loaded, the quality of the textiles and the most suitable steam levels and Iron Aid programmes.

Cleaning the drum
Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.
Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expect­ed when removed from the appli­ance.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
Caution! Never operate the appli­ance without the heat exchanger.
