Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine
dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:
Machine drying is usually possible
Normal drying (normal temperature)
Gentle drying (reduced temperature)
Do not machine dry
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed;
• the required degree of drying;
• the type of laundry;
• the size of load.
The usual drying times are indicated in the programme chart. As you become
more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best
suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to
make a note of these times.
Modification of the drying time
If you wish to modify the drying time when a drying programme is running,
first depress START/PAUSE button to set the machine to PAUSE. After modi-
fying the time, depress START/PAUSE again to continue the programme.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perform the
rinse programme “SPÜLEN” to be sure that any residue that may remain in
the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried after-
wards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.
