Laundry

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.
  
  See other models: WVG28420AU GSN33VI3A HBE5453UC WAX32M41AU DWB91PR50A
  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 40.

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:

Suitable for tumble drying

Dry at normal temperature

Dry at low temperature

Do not tumble-dry

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.

Note: If you want to prevent the programme from being adjusted inadvertently, activate the childproof lock. Page 33

Programme progress

The programme status will be indicated on the display.

Note: When a programme is selected, the expected drying time for the maximum permitted load is displayed. The moisture sensor measures the residual moisture in the laundry as it is being dried. The programme duration and the remaining time indicated on the display are automatically adjusted as the programme progresses, depending on how damp the laundry is (exception: Timed programmes).

Changing the programme or adding more laundry

You can remove or add laundry and change or adjust the programme at any time during drying.

The following message appears in the display:

Removing laundry and switching off the appliance

1. Remove the laundry.
   
2. Turn the programme selector to switch off the appliance.
   

Emptying the condensation container

By default, the condensation from the appliance runs into the condensation container.

Alternatively, you have the option of discharging the condensation water * supplied depending on the model. If you choose to discharge the condensation water into the waste-water system, you will not need to empty the condensation container during the drying programme or after each time you use the dryer.

1. Pull out the condensation container horizontally.
   
2. Pour out the condensation water.
   
   Caution! Risk of harm to health and material damage
   Condensation water is not suitable for drinking and may be contaminated with fluff. Contaminated condensation water may be harmful to your health and cause material damage. Do not drink the condensation water or reuse it.
3. Push the condensation container back into the appliance until you feel it lock into place.
   

Removing the fluff

Note: During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If the fluff filter is clogged or dirty, this reduces the flow of air, preventing the appliance from achieving optimal drying results. Dirty fluff filters increase the power consumption and increase the required drying time.

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle:

1. Open the door and remove all fluff from it.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
   
3. Remove the fluff from the fluff filter recess. Ensure that no fluff falls into the open shaft.
   
4. Pull the two-part fluff filter apart.
   
5. Open the two parts of the filter.
   
6. Remove all fluff from both parts of the filter.
   
7. Rinse off fluff under warm, running water.
   
8. Dry the two parts of the fluff filter, snap them shut and reinsert the filter.
   

Caution! Material damage/damage to the appliance
If you operate the appliance without a fluff catcher (e.g. fluff filter, fluff depot, depending on appliance specifications), or if the fluff catcher is incomplete or defective, this may result in damage to the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance without a fluff catcher, or with a fluff catcher that is incomplete or defective.
