Drying hints
Before loading the laundry
Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics
with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high tempera-
ture)
delicate drying (low tempera-
ture)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with
fasteners to prevent small laundry
items getting tangled inside them.
Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing and saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as they could attract the fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun
before tumble drying.
EEaassyy--ccaarree iitteemms
•
should be briefly pr
s
, too, e.g. shirts,
e-spun befor
e
drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of
your washing machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)
may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into
your dryer. However, to achieve the
desired starched effect, choose the
programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal
drum after drying with a moist cloth
and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying
is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer
has finished drying.
• If individual items are still damp after
drying, set a brief post-drying time,
aatt lleeaasstt 3300 mmiinnuuttees
but
s
. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers and
tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.

Objective
Adjusting the level
of conductivity
Implementation
Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts
of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus
varying its conductivity values. Relevant variations of the
conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the
factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry
at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows you to regulate the
sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the
water by using the following procedure.

from the electricity supply, before you
can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry
thoroughly.

Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of
the door to remove any fluff from the
seals around the filter. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which
accumulates during drying and they
must therefore be cleaned

The filter in the inner door must be
removed for cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It
is not due to excessive wear caused by the
dryer.
All fabric loses fluff when drying but it
goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble
dryer it simply collects in the filter.
After a while, a withish patina due to
detergent residue on laundry forms on
the filters. When this occurs, clean the
filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening
as per picture (it can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).
