8. DAILY USE
8.1 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 programme. · 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 programme suitable for the type of laundry.
· Do not put light and dark colours together.
· Use suitable programme for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
· Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programmes 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.
· Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is
to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.

Problem
Possible cause The load size is small.
The drying cycle is too short.
The laundry is too dry.
Remedy
Select a time program. The time value must be related to the load. To dry one
item or a small amount of laundry we recommend short drying times.
Select an appropriate time pro- gram or a higher dryness level
(e.g. extra dry)
The filter is clogged.
Clean the filter.
The load is too large.
Do not exceed the maximum load size.
Drying cycle too long 5)
The laundry was not spun suffi- ciently.
Too low or too high room tempera- ture – this is not the appliance mal-
function.
Spin the laundry well in the wash- ing machine.
Ensure a room temperature higher than +5°C and lower than +35°C. Optimal room
temperature to ach- ieve best drying results is between 18°-25°C.
- Follow the program description — see the PROGRAMS chapter . 2) See the CARE AND CLEANING chapter. 3) Only dryers with the Dryness Level option. 4) See the HINTS AND TIPS chapter . 5) Note: After a maximum of 5 hours the drying cycle ends automatically.
11.3 Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:
· The filter is clogged. Clogged filter makes drying inefficient.
· The airflow slots are clogged. · The drum is dirty.
· Inadequate default dryness level settings. See chapter Adjustment of default

· Room temperature is too low or too
high. Optimal room temperature is
between 18°-25°C.
