If the appliance was not transported in an upright position, leave it to
stand for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and us-
ing it for the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor could be damaged.

In order to remove any residues which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or carry out a brief
drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths in the machine.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
•
Sorting by fabric type:
–
Cotton/linen for programmes in the COTTON (KATOEN) programme
group.
–
Mixed fibres and synthetics for programmes in the EASY CARES
(MENGWEEFSELS) programme group.
•
Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
•
Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laun-
dry items. Textile colours may bleed.
•
Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA DRY (EX-
TRADROOG) programme. Items may shrink!
•
Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOL) pro-
gramme. Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as
possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which
are similar or the same with repect to material, colour and weight.
Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
Preparing laundry
•
To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet cov-
ers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
•
Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).
•
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-
lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics
will then dry better.
