Preparing laundry
Warning Risk of explosions/fire!
Certain objects may ignite when drying is in progress, or even cause the appliance to catch fire or explode. Remove any lighters or matches from pockets on items of clothing.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the drum and laundry Leaving objects in the pockets of your clothing can cause damage to the drum and laundry when the appliance is in operation. Remove all objects (e.g. metal items) from clothing pockets.
Prepare the laundry as follows:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks, eyelets and buttons. Button up large items of laundry, such as covers.
■ Always dry very small items of laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together with large items such as towels.
■ Use timed programmes for single items.
■ Knitted items, such as T-shirts and jerseys, often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. Use a gentle programme.
■ Do not overdry easy-care laundry. This leads to increased creasing of your laundry.
■ Some detergents and care products, e.g. starch or softeners, contain particles that may accumulate on the moisture sensor. This may impair the sensor's performance and, in turn, the drying result.
Notes
– When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use the correct amount of detergent and care products as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– Clean the moisture sensor regularly Page 38.
Sorting laundry
Note: Load the laundry item by item into the appliance. For more effective drying, do not stuff an entire bundle of laundry into the dryer at once.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer or laundry Laundry that is unsuitable for tumble-drying may damage the appliance and the laundry when it is dried. Before you dry it, sort the laundry according to the information given on the care label:
When sorting the laundry to be dried, take the following points into account:
■ To achieve an even drying result, only dry laundry of the same type of fabric and texture together. If you dry thin, thick and multilayered fabrics together, they will dry to differing degrees.
■ Use the fabric descriptions given for the individual drying programmes to help you choose the most appropriate programme.
"Overview of programmes" on page 23
Note: You can select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still damp.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the appliance and laundry
Do not tumble-dry the following items or fabrics in the appliance:
■ Laundry contaminated with solvents, wax or grease.
■ Unwashed items.
■ Items made from non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
■ Items made from delicate fabrics, such as silk and curtains made of synthetic material.
