Preparing the laundry
NOTICE:
Damage to the appliance/fabrics.
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails)
may damage the laundry or components in the dryer.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your
laundry:
▯
Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
keys, other hard objects and cigarette lighters) are
placed in the dryer drum.
▯
Close any fasteners (such as zippers, hooks and
eyelets) that could cause laundry to catch or become
entangled. Button up covers. Tie cloth belts, apron
strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
▯
Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
▯
The drum must be empty prior to loading textiles.
Sorting the laundry
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to
drying. They provide valuable information as well as
limitations about laundry process (temperature etc.) to
help you choose an appropriate cycle.
Do not dry the following textiles in the dryer:
▯
air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized),
▯
delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains).
Drying tips
▯
To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and drying program.
▯
Always dry very small items (such as socks and
handkerchiefs) and underwired bras together with
large items of laundry or in a laundry bag.
▯
Do not over-dry easy-care laundry - risk of wrinkling!
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
▯
Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Place the
laundry in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture
will then be distributed uniformly.
▯
Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink when
tumble-dried for the first time. Do not use the
Extra
Dry
program.
▯
Only dry wool fabrics with the use of drying rack
accessory. To refresh or fluff up wool articles use the
Hand Wash/Wool
program and remove load from
dryer and layout on flat surface to finish drying.
▯
For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual
items of laundry, use the
Time
program. Also suitable
for adding additional drying time if necessary.

▯
Some detergents and textile care products, starch or
softeners may contain chemicals that may become
deposited on the moisture sensors negatively affecting
their function and the drying results.
▯
When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use the
correct amount of detergent and textile care
products as specified in the manufacturer's
instructions.
▯
Clean the moisture sensor regularly.
