DAILY USE

Preparing the laundry

Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether. Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient. To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.

To assure proper drying process:

• Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a program.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards.
• Always set the program suitable for the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours together.
• Use suitable program for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programs chapter or shown on the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items.
• Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.

HINTS AND TIPS

Ecological hints

• Spin the laundry well before drying.
• Do not exceed the load sizes which are specified in the programs chapter.
• Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
• Do not use fabric softener to wash and then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry becomes soft automatically.
• The water from the water container can be used to iron the clothes. You must first filter the water to eliminate remaining textile fibres (simple coffee filter is suitable).
• Always keep the airflow slots at the bottom of the appliance clear.
• Make sure there is good airflow where the appliance is to be installed.

Water hardness

• Water hardness can be different for different locations. Water hardness has an effect on the water conductivity and the operation of the conductivity sensor in the appliance. If you know the value of the water conductivity you can adjust the sensor to dry with the better results (recommended to set the "soft water hardness" to get the laundry more dried).
• The appliance allows you to chose between 3 levels (Hard, Medium, Soft) corresponding to different ranges of water hardness.
• The appliance allows you to chose between 3 levels (Hard, Medium, Soft) corresponding to different ranges of water hardness.

• Depending on the country, the water hardness is expressed in equivalent scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German degrees (°d), English degrees (°e), mmol/l and ppm
• If necessary, please contact your local water authority to check the water hardness in your area.
• To change the default water hardness:
  1. Turn the appliance on.
  2. Wait approximately 8 seconds.
  3. Select 1 of the available programs.
  4. Touch and hold down the Quiet and Refresh buttons at the same time.
• One of the symbols appears on the display:

5. Touch the Start/Pause button repeatedly until you reach the desired water hardness level.

6. To memorise the setting touch and hold down the Quiet and Refresh buttons at the same time for approximately 2 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the filter

At the end of each cycle the Filter symbol comes on the display and you must clean the filter.
