Laundry
Identification of fabrics
Observe the treatment symbols on the
textile labels. They provide valuable
information as well as limitations about
the drying process.
Do not dry the following textiles in the
dryer:
-
AirĆtight textiles (e.g. rubberized)
-
Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains)
i
Dry woolen or woolĆrich textiles
with dryer rack only!
i
Use the time program Air fluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing
foam rubber or similarly textured
rubberĆlike materials.
Drying tips
In principle, the following applies to all
drying programs:
-
To ensure a uniform drying result,
sort the laundry according to fabric
type and drying program.
-
Fasten zippers, hooks and eyes.
Fasten loose belts, apron strings,
etc..
-
Do not overdry easyĆcare laundry ć
risk of wrinkling! Leave laundry to
dry in the air.
-
Do not iron laundry immediately
after drying. Place the laundry in a
pile for a short while. Residual
moisture will then be distributed
uniformly.
-
Knitted textiles (e.g. TĆshirts,
cotton jersey laundry) often shrink
when dried for the first time. Do
not use the "Very dry/Extra dry"
program.
Program selection
For optimum drying results your dryer
offers several program groups and
additional options.
Select the required drying program
from the program table according to
the examples (see page 16).
Automatic programs
There are automatic programs for
different types of textiles.
(Regular/Cotton ECOSENSOR or
Permanent press ECOSENSOR).

The program sequence of automatic
programs is controlled via sensors. The
duration of the program depends on
the measured degree of moisture in the
laundry and on the selected degree of
dryness (e.g. Damp dry or Extra dry).
Time programs
Time programs run for a specific time
(20, 40, 60 minutes).
In the "Air fluff/No heat" stage the dryer
runs on ambient air without a heat

Indicator of program
sequence
The dryer uses an electronic scanning
system for all programs except the time
programs . A moisture sensor
continuously checks the moisture in the
laundry. Drying ends automatically as
soon as the selected degree of dryness
has been reached.
The drum continues to rotate at
specific intervals for one hour to
prevent creasing.
The current degree of drying and the
level reached during the program
sequence is indicated via indicator
lights (Drying, Damp dry, Regular dry,
Wrinkle block).
i
If the indicator light Wrinkle block"
illuminates when the program
selector is in Off-Position - turn off
the circuit breaker and call for
customer service!
