separately).
Ty p e o f m a t e r ial: Cotton (linen); synthetic textiles (easy care).
Degree of drying: Cupboard dry, iron dry etc.

fast blinking led indicates a wrong selection is made (incompatible options). Press

Warning: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all

ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not
be damaged.
End: Take the laundry out of the dryer. The drying process is complete
and the anti-crease phase has been reached (active).
Anti-Crease: If the laundry is not removed at the end of the drying cycle,
an automatic anti-crease cycle will operate for maximum 15 min. The
drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the laundry from creasing.
