Energy-saving tips en
Caution! Material damage/damage to
the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers, prewash sprays, etc.) may cause damage if they come into contact with the surfaces of the appliance. Therefore please note:
Do not allow these agents to
come into contact with the surfaces of the appliance.
Clean the appliance with
nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth.
Remove any detergent,
spray or other residues immediately.

7 Energy-saving tips

Energy-saving tips
Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the programme will be, in turn reducing energy consumption.
Load the appliance with the
maximum loads permitted for the programmes.
Note: If the maximum load is
exceeded, this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
Operate the appliance in a ventilated
room and make sure that the air inlet on the appliance is unobstructed so that air exchange can take place unhindered.
Regularly remove the fluff from the
appliance. If there is fluff in the appliance, this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period before the programme starts or once the programme has ended, the appliance will automatically switch to energy-saving mode. The display and indicator lights go out after a few minutes and A Start/Reload flashes. To end energy-saving mode, all you need to do is perform an action on the appliance, such as opening and closing the door.
If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period when it is in energy-saving mode, the appliance automatically switches itself off.
Note: If Wi-Fi is activated, the appliance
will not switch itself off automatically.

Preparing laundry

:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
Certain objects may ignite when drying is in progress, or even cause the appliance to catch fire or explode. Remove any lighters or matches from pockets on items of clothing.
Caution! Risk of damage to the drum and
laundry
Leaving objects in the pockets of your clothing can cause damage to the drum and laundry when the appliance is in operation. Remove all objects (e.g. metal items) from clothing pockets.
Prepare the laundry as follows:
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
Close zips, hooks, eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
Use timed programmes for single
items.
Knitted items, such as T-shirts and
jerseys, often shrink slightly the first
time they are tumble-dried. Use a
gentle programme.
Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This leads to increased creasing of
your laundry.
Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles that may accumulate on the
moisture sensor. This may impair the
sensor's performance and, in turn,
the drying result.
Notes
– When washing laundry to be
tumble-dried, use the correct amount of detergent and care products as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– Clean the moisture sensor
regularly ~ Page 54.

Sorting laundry

Note: Load the laundry item by item
into the appliance. For more effective drying, do not stuff an entire bundle of laundry into the dryer at once.
Caution! Risk of material damage to the dryer or
laundry
Laundry that is unsuitable for tumble­drying may damage the appliance and the laundry when it is dried. Before you dry it, sort the laundry according to the information given on the care label:
c Suitable for tumble drying a Dry at normal temperature ` Dry at low temperature b Do not tumble-dry
When sorting the laundry to be dried, take the following points into account:
To achieve an even drying result,
only dry laundry of the same type of fabric and texture together. If you dry thin, thick and multi­layered fabrics together, they will dry to differing degrees.
Use the fabric descriptions given for
the individual drying programmes to help you choose the most appropriate programme.
~ "Overview of programmes" on page 24 ~ "Drying with the basket for woollens" on page 43
