Before first use
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 (ca. 30 min.)
with damp cloths in the machine.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTON pro-
gramme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYN-
THETICS programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
Drying in
the tumble
dryer pos-
sible in
principle
Dry at nor-
mal tem-
perature
Dry at re-
duced
tempera-
ture (press
DELICATE
but-
ton!)
Drying in
the tumble
dryer not
possible
Important! Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry
which is not specified on the care label as being suitable
for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which
are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-
coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA
programme. Items may shrink!
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button
up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of
aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safe-
ty 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.
Important! Do not overload the appliance. Observe max.
loading volume of 7 kg.
