Tips for drying
Sorting the laundry
Follow the care symbols in the fabrics.
To achieve even drying results, sort the
laundry by fabric type and desired level of
dryness.
Dry at normal temperature
Dry at low temperature
Do not tumble dry
Dry wool or textiles containing wool with
the special programme Wool Finish only
(risk of felting).
Notice
Textiles with metal reinforcements can
damage the components of the machine
and must not be dryed in the dryer.
Preparing the laundry
►
Do up all zips, hooks and eyes.
►
Button up duvet covers and pillowcases.
Tie together loose belts, apron strings
etc.
Drying the laundry
►
Remove easy care laundry from the
dryer in a slightly damp state if possible (Slightly dry) and allow to finish
drying in the air. Over drying causes
creases.
►
Laundry which is still too damp after
drying a load of widely varying fabrics
can be dried further using the programme Time drying.
►
Knitted fabrics, e.g. jersey underwear,
can shrink slightly during drying. Do not
use the Extra Dry programmes for
these fabrics.
►
Dry sensitive fabrics such as silk and
synthetic curtains with the special
programmes Silk and Synthetics
only (risk of creasing).
►
For drying single pieces of laundry
select the programme option Express
or a Timed drying programme.
Page 11

Environmentally
compatible drying
Notice
Wringing wet laundry: waste of energy!
►
Remove as much water as possible from
the laundry before drying by spinning in
a washing machine or spin dryer.
The higher the spin speed, the shorter
the drying time and lower the energy
consumption.
►
You should also spin easy care laundry.
Notice
Overfilling affects the drying result and
severely creases the laundry.
►
Do not exceed the maximum load.
Small loads are uneconomical and
result in increased wear of laundry and
machine.
►
If possible, always load the dryer with
the maximum load.
Observe before first use
►
Install the machine according to the
installation instructions.
►
Wipe the inside of the drum with a
damp cloth.

Cleaning the fluff filters
When fabrics are used, the fibres
are rubbed (laundry fluff), which are
released when the fabrics are dried,
collecting in the fluff filters in the door
opening.
Clogged fluff filters may affect the
drying process.
►
Clean filter
and
regularly.
Clean the fluff filter
after every drying programme
►
Pull out the inner, fine filter
and
swing it open.
►
Rub your hand over the inside of the
filter to remove the fluff.
►
Replace the fluff filter and make sure it
is in the correct position.
Notice
It may happen that a supposedly proper
cleaned filter becomes impermeable,
due to a fine, invisible coat remaining in
the filter meshes.
►
Pour a little water on to the inside of
the filter. If it is impermeable, clean the
filter with a brush under running water.
Cleaning the filter
daily
►
Pull out the outer coarse filter
and
swing it open.
Page 19
19
►
Rub your hand over the inside of the
filter to remove the fluff.
►
Replace the fluff filter and make sure it
is in the correct position.
Descaling the fluff filters
If the coat cannot be brushed away,
a commercial descaler spray must be
used to dissolve it.
►
Spray the descaler on the entire filter
surface and leave it to take effect. In
case of stubborn coats place one layer
of kitchen roll onto the filter surface
and spray descaler on it to ensure the
filter is moist. Leave the descaler to
take effect overnight. Then clean the
filter under running water with a fine
brush.
Notice
►
Never operate the machine with
damaged fluff filters.
Fluff filters are consumables and
replacements can be ordered from our
customer service department.
Switching off the machine
►
Press button On / Off until
the display turns off.
►
Unplug the machine, when not used
for longer periods of time.
