Low Heat as well.

)cDo not machine dry.

The safety information MUST be observed a page 11!

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example: – Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics). – Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)

a they may crease.

– Laundry contaminated with oil.

Before using the dryer for the first time

Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme. – Always dry very small items (e.g. baby socks) together with larger items (e.g. hand towels). – Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers. Tie cloth belts, bands, etc. together. – Do not over-dry easy-care laundry

a risk of creasing!

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while

the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink during their first drying.

a Do not use the Very Dry programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers

a starch leaves behind a coating that

adversely affects the drying operation.

– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when

washing the laundry to be dried.

– Use the timer programme for small loads a this improves 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 capacity, but do not exceed it

a Programme overview, page 7.

– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.

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

– Do not obstruct or seal up the air inlet.
