2 Environmental tips
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unob-
structed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data –
depending on spinning speed – for 6kg of laundry, dried using the
COTTONS STORAGE DRY programme.

In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a
brief drying cycle (20 MIN) with damp cloths.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES pro-
gramme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
n m l k
Basic drying
in tumble
dryer possible
Drying
at normal
temperature
at reduced temperature
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme.
Items may become stuck!
• Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.
Drying

Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings
and tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, 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.
