Dry at normal temperatures
Dry at low temperatures
DRYING
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from
synthetic material) – they may crease
12
Dripping-wet laundry – high energy
consumption
Wool or fabrics containing wool.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Page 13
Tips on drying
Important for all drying cycles:
To obtain a uniform drying result: sort the
laundry by fabric type and drying program.
F as ten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts,
apron strings etc, together.
Do not over-dry easy-care laundry: Risk of
creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying in the

Your dryer offers different drying times and the
additional Low heat J function (see page 16).
Our drying programs are designed to protect your
laundry with minimum energy consumption. Due to
residual heat after drying, your laundry feels
damper than it really is.
If the dryness of the laundry is not sufficient after
cooling down, use a longer drying time or continue
drying.
The following table gives drying times for 5 kg of
laundry at different spin speeds for the Cupboard
dry programme.

Risk of explosion
There is a risk of explosion from solvents.
Never use solvents for cleaning.
The dryer may be damaged if it is not cleaned
correctly. Do not spray the dryer with a water jet.
Do not use abrasive agents or general-purpose
cleaners.
Clean the housing and the control panel with
a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle.
Bobbling (fluff) occurs when fabrics become worn.
These bobbles come off during the drying cycle
and collect in the fluff filter.
A clogged filter results in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
1. Open the door.
2. Pull the filter out towards the top.
3. Remove the fluff (by drawing your hand
across the filter).
4. Replace the filter
(it can only be inserted one way round).
5. Close the door.
