Before loading the laundry
Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics
with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags,
feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials
similar to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on
garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with
fasteners to prevent small laundry
items getting tangled inside them.
Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and
degree on drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing and saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as they could attract the fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly
spun before tumble drying.
• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts,
should be briefly pre-spun before
drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme on
your washing machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)
may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size
of new purchases.
• You can also put starched items
into your dryer. However, to achieve
the desired starched effect, choose
the programme “iron dry”. To
remove any starch residues, wipe
out the internal drum after drying
with a moist cloth and then rub it
dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric
softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer
Before the first use
Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.
• Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you
place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

has finished drying.
• If individual items are still damp
after drying, set a brief post-drying
time, but at least 30 minutes. This
will be necessary particularly for
multilayered items (e.g. collars,
pockets, etc.).
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie
any belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers
and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of
aprons). Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with
cotton lined anoraks, the cotton
layer should be outermost). These
fabrics will then dry better.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half
full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens:
drum no more than one third full.
Try to load to the maximum capacity of
the machine as small loads are uneconomical.
