a Do not use the + Cupbord Dry Extra programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that

adversely affects the drying operation.

– When washing the laundry that is to be tumble-dried, measure the fabric softener in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

– Using a timer programme with a small laundry load a optimisation of the drying result.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine a the higher the spin

speed, the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care laundry.

– Use the maximum recommended fill level but do not overload with laundry

aoverview of programmes, page 7.

– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.

– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle a page 4.
