Checking the Clothes before Loading

Check that the clothes are not stuck between appliance and door, otherwise the clothes may get damaged while drying.Observe the maximum load capacity on the programme table for the relevant drying programme to get optimum drying results. Overloading gives a poor drying result and causes unnecessary creasing.Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. Doing so will increase the drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that the clothes are spun thoroughly in the washer before loading them in the dryer. A mixed fabric load can cause the drying time to be extended and the time remaining in the display to pause during active drying until the actual time remaining matches the time displayed.Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.Remove loose belts and close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag other clothes.

Sorting the Clothes

Clothes have their own fabric care labels, so drying according to the fabric care label is recommended.Sort the clothes into size and type of fabric and then prepare the clothes according to the symbols on the fabric care labels.Dry woollens on the Wool programme. Be sure to follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool may not be completely dried from the cycle, so do not repeat drying. Pull woollens to their original shape and dry them flat.Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.Do not overload the appliance.
