Operating Your Dryer
Preparing Laundry
Sort laundry by fabric type and drying program. Remove items from pockets and close zips/buttons. Do not over-dry easy-care fabrics. For delicate fabrics requiring low heat, select the 'Low Heat' option. Always spin laundry thoroughly in the washing machine before drying.
Selecting and Adjusting Programs
Turn the programme selector to choose a program (e.g., Cottons, Easy-Care, Sportswear). Adapt to individual requirements by adjusting dryness levels using the 'Fine adjustment' option (0-3). Press the 'Start/Stop' button to begin.
Drying Process
Empty the condensate container after each use. Clean the fluff filter after each drying operation. The dryer automatically stops when the program ends, indicated by lights on the display. An anti-crease function keeps laundry loose for an hour after the cycle.
Interrupting and Finishing
You can interrupt the cycle to add or remove laundry by opening the door. Close the door, select the program again if needed, and press 'Start/Stop'. To switch off, turn the programme selector to 'Off'. Remove laundry promptly.
