Make sure your hands are dry.
Only grasp the plug by the plug
body.

Clean the fluff filter
Do not operate the dryer without a fluff filter

the door/around the door and pull out
the fluff filter.
2.
Remove the fluff from the shaft of the

3.
Remove the fluff (sweep your hand over
the fluff filter). If the fluff filter is very dirty
or blocked, rinse with warm water and
dry thoroughly.
4.
Insert the fluff filter so that you hear
it engage.

Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
hc
Suitable for tumble drying.
(c
Dry at normal temperature.
'c
Dry at low temperature
a
in addition, select
V
Low Heat
.
)c
Do not tumble dry.
Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)
a
these may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Before drying for the first time
– Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the programme selector to
Timed Programme
(
a
page 7) and select
Start/Pause
. At the end of the programme, turn the programme
selector to
Off
.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry
a
risk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer
a
page 7,
Woollens finish
programme (
depending on model
).
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while
a
residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
a
Do not use the
Cupboard Dry extra
programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers
a
starch leaves behind a coating that
reduces the drying effect.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of
fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine
a
higher spin speeds minimise
the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
a
Programme overview, page 7
.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying
.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle
