Laundry Advice
Sorting the laundry
Pay attention to the drying symbols on your
fabrics.
Dry at normal temperature.
Dry at low temperature
Do not tumble dry.
Do not dry the following fabrics in the machine:
z Sensitive fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains, etc.): creasing.
z Dripping wet laundry: wastage of energy.
z Wool or textiles containing wool (Unless using the spe-
cial Wool Finish programme): risk of felting!
X To achieve even drying results, sort the laundry by
fabric type and desired level of dryness.
Do not exceed the maximum load, because overfilling
affects the drying result and severely creases the laundry.
Tips for drying
X Do up all zips, hooks and eyes. Tie together loose
belts, apron strings etc.
X Remove easy care laundry from the dryer in a slightly
damp state if possible (Select target dryness «Light
Drying») and allow to finish drying in the air. Over drying
causes creases.
X Laundry which is still too damp after drying a load of
widely varying fabrics can be dried further using the timer
programme.
X Knitted fabrics, e.g. jersey underwear, can shrink
slightly during drying. Do not use the «Extra Dry» pro-
gramme for these fabrics.
Start-up
Install the machine according to the installation
instructions.
Before using the machine for the first time, wipe the
inside of the drum with a damp cloth.
Preparation
Check whether:
X The fluff filter is in place (see Cleaning / Maintenance,
page 46).
X The machine is plugged in or switched on at the wall.
The machine is ready for use if all the control lights are
flashing or have gone out in sleep mode. If one of the
control lights stays on, proceed as follows:
X With the fast forward button in the programme end
position, press until the control light comes on. Wait until
the control light flashes and press the «Door» button.
(remove laundry if necessary).
Open the door
X Press the «Door» button.
z The door pops open
X Caution: The door only pops open if the mains power
supply is switched on. If there is no power to open the
door, the door can be opened manually by pressing next
to the lock.
z The drum light comes on when the door is opened.
Add laundry
Before adding laundry, ensure that there are no foreign
bodies or even trapped pets in the drum.
Only dry fabrics which have been washed with water in
the dryer.
Laundry which has been treated with flammable solvents
e.g. stain remover or white spirits, should not be dried in
the dryer (Risk of explosion!).
Fabrics which contain foam rubber or which have hair
spray, nail polish remover or similar substances on them
should not be dried in the machine (fire risk!).
X Place the laundry loosely in the drum, mixing large
and small items.
Close the door
X Close the door by pushing it until the lock audibly
engages.
X Ensure when closing the door that no laundry gets
shut in it.
If the door is not closed, the safety switch will prevent the
machine from operating.
