Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. hand towels).
– Fasten zips, hooks and eyelets, button covers and tie together cloth belts, strips, etc.
– 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.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T shirts, knitwear) often shrink when tumble dried for the first time
a
do not use the

programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers
a
starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when
washing the laundry to be dried subsequently.
– Using a timed programme with a small laundry load
a
optimisation of the drying result.
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 fill level but do not overload laundry
a
overview of programmes, see page 7
.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle
