• Take care when interrupting the Iron
Aid programme: Do not open the
machine door during the steam
phase. Hot steam may result in
burns. The display has a steam symbol to indicate the steam phase.
• If you end the drying cycle or Iron Aid
programme before it has come to
the end, it is important to quickly remove and unfold all the laundry so it
can cool quickly.
• The last stage in the drying cycle is a
cooling phase to protect the laundry
from damage caused by high temperatures.
• Caution – Hot surface:
Do not touch the back of the appliance while it is operating.

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.
Example: Consumption values –
depending on spin speed – for 6 kg
of laundry, dried using the programme COTTON
CUPBOARD.

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.

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.
