Program duration/ Estimated time
remaining
When a program is selected, the
estimated time remaining will be
displayed. This is to be considered an
estimate only.
The following factors can lead to
variations in the time remaining
estimate: Residual moisture after
spinning; type of fabric; size of load;
ambient temperature, or fluctuations in
the power supply.
The adaptive electronics constantly
adjusts to the individual wash load to
ensure a more accurate estimate of
time remaining. This estimate is
permanently monitored during drying,
which in some cases can lead to a
change in the estimate.In this way, the delicate and smoothing
programs can end earlier, when a
certain temperature is reached. This
can happen with particularly fine
fabrics, very small loads, or if items
have previously been dried.
Delay
The delay time selected will be
displayed.
The delay time countdown begins after
pressing theStartbutton.
Once the time delay expired, the
estimated program duration will appear
in the display and the drying begins.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to adapt the dryer to your
personal requirements. In programming
mode, the display will show the function
selected.

Drying tips
– Always check the weight
recommendation for maximum loads
as listed in the "Program Overview"
section.
Overloading will cause wear and
tear on the laundry, give a poor
drying result and cause more
creasing.–Do not dry fabrics that are still
soaking wet!After washing, spin
fabrics for at least 30 seconds.
–Dry mixed loads of cottons, colors
and easy-care fabrics in thein the
Expressprogram.
–Open jackets
so that they dry evenly.
–Woolens and wool blends
tend to
mat and shrink. Only handle these
fabrics in theWoolensprogram.
–The linings of down-filled garments
,
depending on quality, tend to shrink.
Handle these fabrics only in the
Smoothingprogram.
– Pure linens
are dried only when
indicated on the care label.
Otherwise the fabric may become
rough. Handle these fabrics only in
theSmoothingprogram.
– Cottons (such as T-shirts and
underwear)depending on quality,
often shrink at the first wash.
Therefore: to avoid further shrinkage,
do not over-dry these textiles.
–
Starched laundry
may be dried. To
achieve the usual finish, however,
use a double amount of starch.
–
Wash new colored fabrics
separately
before the first drying. Do not dry
them together with light-colored
fabrics since their colors may run
and discolor other garments or even
plastic dryer components.

							–Wrinklingincreases with larger loads.
This especially occurs with very fine
fabrics as used in shirts and blouses.
To limit wrinkling the dryer performs the
following actions:
1. Tumble drying with drum reversal
(prevents roll-ups of laundry,
creasing and uneven drying),
2. Constantly measures the
temperature of air coming into and
leaving the drum,
3. Cycles two heater sections for 0, half
and full power,
4. Automatic drying stage termination,
after the desired Dryness level of
laundry is reached. To do this, the
dryer is equipped with systems:
- water conductivity metering,
- sensing of laundry’s residual
moisture,
- software.
5. Cooling down with tumbling and
drum reversal,
6. Anti-crease with drum reversal.
In cases of doubt, reduce the load by
dividing it.
Use theDress shirtsprogram.

							Brief instructions
The operating steps identified with
numbers(,\015,, ...) may be used as
short-cut instructions.
Preparing the laundry
Loosen the washed garments and sort
them by: . .
. . . desired drying level,
. . . type of fabric and finish,
. . . size,
. . . same residual moisture content
after spinning.
This will produce very even drying.
Remove foreign objects like
detergent dispensing devices from
the laundry. They can melt and
damage the dryer and the wash.
– Check hems and seams to ensure
that linings don't come out.
– Close duvet covers and pillowcases
to prevent small items from getting
inside.
–
Fasten hooks and close buttons.
–
Tie fabric belts together.
