• Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well
spun.

If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular degree of drying (e.g. HAND IRON), you should dry it in stages for best economy: Fill
the dryer and select the program HAND IRON; after the end of this program take out your laundry for ironing. Finally dry the remaining laundry with the program CUPBOARD DRY.
• Only use the SPECIAL CARE button for loads up to 2.5kg!
• Clean the fluff filter after every drying program!
• Empty the water reservoir after every drying program!
Caution! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for use
1
with foodstuffs.
You can use the collected condensed water as distilled water in the
household, but first pour it through a paper filter bag.
• Clean the condenser regularly. The dryer will operate more economi-
cally if you clean the condenser regularly.
