Before using the
dryer for the first
time
Before you use the dryer for the first
time:
1. Read these operating instructions carefully.
2. Check that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage specifications on the rating plate of the dryer, see picture page 22
3. Remove all objects from the drum.
4. Check the dryer for visible damage. If damages found contact your dealer.
5. Wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth.
6. Conduct an appliance test, see page 9.
Temporary
disconnection of

the dryer

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you intend going on vacation or are not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:
1. Turn off the circuit breaker.
2. Pull out the power supply plug if possible.
3. Clean the lint filter.

Laundry

Identification of fabrics
Observe the treatment symbols on the textile labels. They provide valuable
information as well as limitations about
the drying process.
Do not dry the following textiles in the dryer:
- Air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized)
- Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains)
I i I Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles
with dryer rack only!
I i I Use the time program “Airfluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
Drying tips In principle, the following applies to all
drying programs:
- To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program.
- Fasten zippers, hooks and eyes. Fasten loose belts, apron strings, etc..
- Do not overdry easy-care laundry ­risk of wrinkling! Leave laundry to dry in the air.
- Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Place the laundry in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture will then be distributed uniformly.
- Knitted textiles (e.g. T-shirts, cotton jersey laundry) often shrink when dried for the first time. Do not use the "Very dry/Extra dry" program.
