Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem
Possible cause and solution

ciently dry.

Time Dry

The laundry or feather-
filled pillows develop a
smell after drying.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers have the property of developing a
significant odor when they are warm.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory) for your favorite fragrance.
Items made of synthetic
fibers are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
Synthetic fibers tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
softener to the final rinse in the washing program.
There is a build-up of
lint.
Lint is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are
being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any lint
to form.
Lint is collected by the lint filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
