Do not machine dry.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
– Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)
a
they may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do up any buttons. Tie belts, apron strings etc. together.
– Do not overdry easy-care laundry
a
risk of creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying
in the air.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while
a
the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
a
Do not select the
+
+
Cupboard Dry Extra
programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers
a
starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, dose the fabric softener
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
– With a small load, use the Timed Program.
Tips for Short spin/refreshing
– Use your dryer for unwrinkling and refreshing fabrics.
– Short spin cycle for reducing creasing.
– Refresh cycle for eliminating odours from fabrics.
Do not use Short spin/Refresh for the following fabrics:
– Wool, leather, fabrics with metal, wooden or plastic parts.
– Wax and oil jackets.
– Sort the laundry by colour and put on separate short spin/refresh cycles to prevent the
colours from bleeding.
– These programmes do not remove stains
a
stains must be treated and removed
beforehand.
– For best results, so that the laundry will have as few creases as possible, remove each item
immediately after the programme has finished and hang on a hanger to finish drying. Pull
clothes into shape if required.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine
a
the higher the spin
speed, the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
a

overview”.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying
.
– Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle

– Keep the air cooler clean
