The first time
• To remove any possible residue from production
wipe out the drum with a moist cloth before the
first drying cycle.
• During the first empty drying cycle protective
coating need to be burnt off smell / fumes will
be emitted but this is quite normal.
Ensure the room is well ventilated during this
process.
Before Drying
What can be dried
• The laundry should be spun-dried as much
as possible–to the extent permissible for the
respective fabric.
Always observe the care symbols shown on the
garment labels!
Care symbols for drying
Suitable for drying at
high
temperature:
Hot wash / coloured cottons, cotton,
linen
Suitable for drying at
reduced
temperature:
Easy-care synthetics (polyester,
polyamide); mixed fabrics (with
cotton)
Not suitable for drying:
Sensitive fabrics (viscose, silk, etc.);
curtains
• Tumble dry only textiles labelled accordingly–and
only with the appropriate drying programme.
• If possible load textiles of the same kind; thin
tea towels will dry much quicker than thick bath
towels.
• Remove metal parts (buckles, etc.) or put textiles
in a linen bag or similar.
• Empty pockets, remove all foreign objects (coins,
pens, etc.). Close zippers, hooks and eyes.
What must not be dried
Do not load dripping wet laundry in the dryer.
The dryer may be damaged, and the energy
consumption will be excessively high.
–
Sensitive fabrics (silk, curtains woollen, etc.) may
crease.
–
Downfilled textiles (pillows, duvets) are not
suitable.
–
Air-tight (rubberized) textiles.
–
Foam or rubber parts (shoulder pads and the
like) might deform and damage laundry or
appliance.
–
Textiles that were treated with cleaners or dry-
cleaned.
The vapours generated may cause a risk of fire
or explosion, poisoning hazard or damage to the
appliance!
The right amount
• The maximum load capacity depends on the
textile type and the corresponding drying
programme.
Please note the information given in the
“Programme descriptions”! Overloading the
drum has an adverse effect on the drying result.
( See note on page 9 )
Always try to utilise the maximum load capacity.
The door
• To open, pull the door handle area.
• Put laundry loosely in the drum.
• Close the door; push against the door until you
hear the door lock engage.
Take care no textiles are caught in the door.
