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 three 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 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 gar-
ment labels, e. g.
