HygieneDry
drying level
Tip:
The
HygieneDry
drying level can be
selected for some programmes. Spe-
cific hygiene requirements for robust
garments with the
care symbol are
met.
HygieneDry
dries items at a temperature
that is constant over an extended
period of time (extended temperature
holding time). This kills off micro-organ-
isms (such as germs or dust mites) and
reduces allergens in the laundry.
Tip:
Reduce the load size for the cor-
responding programme to half the max-
imum load size specified in these oper-
ating instructions.
Temperature holding time
- An estimated programme running
time is displayed at the start of a pro-
gramme for which the
HygieneDry
drying level has been selected.
- The programme completes the nor-
mal drying process for laundry care
first. The finish time counts down to
0 minutes. Then the temperature
holding time starts.
- At the start of the temperature hold-
ing time, the remaining programme
running time is extended by
85 minutes to produce a hygienic
drying result.
A programme for which the
Hygiene-
Dry
drying level has been selected
should not be interrupted,
as this would prevent the micro-or-
ganisms from being killed off.
Do not cancel the drying programme.
