(Drying at normal temperature.

'cDry at a low temperature a selectc&cV

V÷(Low Heat) as well.

)cDo not machine dry.

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

 Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).

 Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a they may crease.

 Oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

 To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.  Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do up any buttons.

Tie belts, apron strings etc. together.

 Do not overdry 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

a the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

 The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing. aFine adjustment

of the drying result aPage 1/2.

 Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.

a Do not select the +: Extra Dry programme.

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

adversely affects the drying operation.

 When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, dose the fabric softener

according to the manufacturer's instructions.

 With a small load, use the Timed Program.

Tips for Steam Dry / Steam Refresh

 Use your dryer for unwrinkling and refreshing fabrics.  Short spin cycle for reducing creasing.  Refresh cycle for reducinging odours from fabrics.

Do not use Steam Dry / Steam Refresh for the following fabrics:

 Wool, leather, fabrics with metal, wooden or plastic parts.  Wax and oil jackets.

 Sort the laundry by colour and put on separate short Steam Dry / Steam Refresh cycles

to prevent the colours from bleeding.

 These programmes do not remove stains a stains must be treated and removed

beforehand.

 For best results, so that the laundry will have as few creases as possible, remove each item

immediately after the programme has finished and hang on a hanger to finish drying. Pull clothes into shape if required.

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

aPage 7, Programme overview.

 Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.

 Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle aPage 4.

 Keep the air cooler clean aPage 6 Cleaning and care.

 Keep the supply of cool air unobstructed a Do not cover or block the cooling grill.

Steam Drying - Steam Refresh

Steam programmes for unwrinkling or refreshing

 Your dryer has unwrinkling and refreshing programmes that can be used for reducing

odours and minimising creasing in dry fabrics. Steam smooths and freshens up items of

clothing.  Sorting the laundry according to size, weight, fabric and colour is necessary.  Only use Short spin/Refresh for fabrics with the same properties.  During steam generation (required), additional noises may occur.  The result of refreshing and unwrinkling may vary depending on the type of fabric, size of

the load and programme selected.  After unwrinkling or refreshing, all fabrics must be removed immediately and hung crease-

free on a hanger or a washing line for 15 minutes.

Programmes

Please observe the treatment symbols and manufacturer's instructions on the fabrics. Do not use Short spin/Refresh for fabrics made of wool, leather, containing metal or

wooden parts as well as wax and oil jackets! Do not use any dryer cleaning sets!
