Warning

Risk of explosions/fire!

Certain objects may ignite when drying 

is in progress, or even cause the 

appliance to catch fire or explode.

Remove any lighters or matches from 

pockets on items of clothing.

Caution!

Risk of damage to the drum and 

laundry

Leaving objects in the pockets of your 

clothing can cause damage to the drum 

and laundry when the appliance is in 

operation. Remove all objects (e.g. 

metal items) from clothing pockets.

Prepare the laundry as follows:

Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. 

together or use a laundry bag.

Close zips, hooks, eyelets and 

buttons. Button up large items of 

laundry, such as covers.

Always dry very small items of 

laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together 

with large items such as towels.

Use timed programmes for single 

items.

Knitted items, such as T-shirts and 

jerseys, often shrink slightly the first 

time they are tumble-dried. Use a 

gentle programme.

Do not overdry easy-care laundry. 

This leads to increased creasing of 

your laundry.

Some detergents and care products, 

e.g. starch or softeners, contain 

particles that may accumulate on the 

moisture sensor. This may impair the 

sensor's performance and, in turn, 

the drying result.

Notes

– When washing laundry to be 

tumble-dried, use the correct 

amount of detergent and care 

products as specified in the 

manufacturer's instructions.

– Clean the moisture sensor 

regularly
