Preparing the laundry

:

Warning

Risk of explosions/fire!

Certain objects may ignite when drying 

is in progress, or even cause the 

appliance to catch fire or explode.

Remove any lighters or matches from 

pockets on items of clothing.

Caution!

Risk of damage to the drum and 

laundry

Leaving objects in the pockets of your 

clothing can cause damage to the drum 

and laundry when the appliance is in 

operation. Remove all objects (e.g. 

metal items) from clothing pockets.

Prepare the laundry as follows:

■

Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. 

together or use a laundry bag.

■

Always dry very small items of 

laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together 

with large items such as towels.

■

Use timed programmes for single 

items.

■

Knitted items, such as T-shirts and 

jerseys, often shrink slightly the first 

time they are tumble-dried. Use a 

gentle programme.

■

Do not overdry easy-care laundry. 

This leads to increased creasing of 

your laundry.

■

Some detergents and care products, 

e.g. starch or softeners, contain 

particles that may accumulate on the 

moisture sensor. This may impair the 

sensor's performance and, in turn, 

the drying result.

Notes

– When washing laundry to be 

tumble-dried, use the correct 

amount of detergent and care 

products as specified in the 

manufacturer's instructions.

– Clean the moisture sensor 

regularly

Sorting laundry

Note:  

Load the laundry item by item 

into the appliance. For more effective 

drying, do not stuff an entire bundle of 

laundry into the dryer at once.

Caution!

Risk of material damage to the dryer or 

laundry

Laundry that is unsuitable for tumble-

drying may damage the appliance and 

the laundry when it is dried. Before you 

dry it, sort the laundry according to the 

information given on the care label:

When sorting the laundry to be dried, 

take the following points into account:

■

To achieve an even drying result, 

only dry laundry of the same type of 

fabric and texture together. 

If you dry thin, thick and multi-

layered fabrics together, they will dry 

to differing degrees.

■

Use the fabric descriptions given for 

the individual drying programmes to 

help you choose the most 

appropriate programme.
