Notes on laundry
Labelling
of fabrics
Check the following fabric symbols:
Can be dried in a tumble-dryer
Wring out and hang on a washing line
to dry
Do not wring, hang out wet to dry
Wring out, lay on a flat surface to dry
Do not dry in a tumble-dryer
Dry at normal temperatures
Dry at low temperatures
DRYING
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from
12
synthetic material) – they may crease!
Dripping-wet laundry – high energy
consumption.
Wool or fabrics containing wool.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Tips on drying
Important for all drying cycles:
To obtain a uniform drying result: sort the
laundry by fabric type and drying program.
F as ten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts,
apron strings etc, together.
Do not over-dry easy-care laundry:
Risk of creasing. Allow laundry to finish
drying in the air.
Do not over-dry laundry.
Do not iron laundry immediately after drying.
Leave laundry folded up for a short while. This
helps the residual moisture to distribute evenly.
Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often
shrink slightly the first time they are tumbledried. Do not use the "Extra Dry" program.

Selecting a program
Selecting
Program
sequence
Your dryer offers different programs and the
additional Delicates J function (see page 17) for
optimum drying results.
Our drying programs are designed to protect your
laundry with minimum energy consumption. Due
to residual heat after drying, your laundry feels
damper than it really is.
If the dryness of the laundry is not sufficient after
cooling down, use the next highest dr ying
program and/or program time.
In standard programs, the dryer works using an
electronic sensor system which continually
controls the dampness in the washing. The drying
cycle automatically stops as soon as the level of
dryness set has been reached. The indicator
lamps (LEDs) display the program status.
The dryer is equipped with an automatic anticrease function (anti-crease/End). It is effective if
the laundry is not taken out of the drum
immediately.
The drum rotates at specific time intervals for 1
hour. The laundry should be removed after this
time at the latest, if you have not already done so.
The laundry remains loose and soft until it is
removed.
