General tips
䡲
Avoid using fabric conditioner or any other fabric care solutions. Tumble drying
automatically leaves fabrics soft and fluffy.
䡲
The use of fabric conditioner in the wash can lead over time to the formation of a
thin, barely visible film in the drum and on the moisture sensors. This can cause the
appliance to malfunction so that it is no longer possible to dry the washing to the
level of dryness required.
䡲
Use tumbler dryer sheets sparingly.
䡲
Spin washing well before tumble drying.
Well-spun washing requires a shorter drying time, saving energy. Tumble drying
largely removes creases that come from spinning in the washing machine.
䡲
Sort washing by type and size. Small, light items of washing dry faster.
䡲
Protect items of washing from getting damaged by buttoning up duvet and pillow
cases, closing zips and hook and eye fasteners, and fastening cloth belts and
apron ties.
䡲
When drying fabrics that crease easily, put only a few items of washing in the
drum.
䡲
Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels carefully, especially for bulky
items (e. g. sleeping bags, duvets etc.).
䡲
For wool textiles and silk, follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels. Wool-
len textiles and silk often carry the «Do not tumble dry» label.
䡲
For easy-care fabrics (e. g. shirts and cotton mixed fabrics), select the «Gentle» dry-
ing function using the
button and put only a few items in the drum.
䡲
Knitted and woven items (e. g. T-shirts) tend to shrink. Press the
button to select
«Gentle» drying.
䡲
Items of clothing with metal fasteners (e. g. overalls) should be tumble dried using
the «Timed drying» programme. The metal fasteners could cause the washing to
be overdried in the «Automatic programme».
