Programme overview
The programme duration and energy consumption data are for a 6 kg wash
load spun at around 1000 rpm (corresponding to a residual moisture level of
about 60 %). A higher spinning speed and a smaller load reduce them by
about 20–30 %.
Programme sequence for the automatic programmes
The drying process has 3 phases:
Tumble drying
The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The
tumble drying process is monitored by a moisture sensor. As soon as the
required level of dryness is reached, the «Cool down/Airing» phase starts.
Cool down/Airing
The washing is cooled down to a temperature at which creasing is minimized.
This phase lasts between 4 and 10 minutes. The washing can now be
removed from the appliance.
If the washing is not unloaded, the «Crease guard» programme starts.
Crease guard
With the «Crease guard» programme, the dried washing is moved at frequent
intervals to prevent creasing.
«Crease guard» lasts 90 minutes if the «Ultra care» function has been select-
ed, otherwise with all other programmes it lasts 30 minutes. «Crease guard»
can be stopped at any time simply by opening the appliance door.
To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols
on garment labels, e.g.
