Notes on laundry ...

Labelling of fabrics

Follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

hcSuitable for tumble drying.

(cDry at normal temperature.

'cDry at low temperature a in addition, select VLow Heat.

)cDo not tumble dry.

Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:

– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).

– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a these may crease.

– Oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.

– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry (e.g. towels).

– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.

Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry a risk of creasing.

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer a page 7, Wool finish Programme

(depending on model).

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while a residual moisture will then be

distributed evenly.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. a Do not use the

Cupoboard Dry Plus programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that reduces the drying effect.

– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric softener as specified in the

manufacturer's instructions.

– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed programme. Also suitable for

subsequent drying.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a higher spin speeds minimise the drying time and reduce

energy consumption.

– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it a Programme overview page 7.

– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.

– Do not cover or seal the air inlet on the dryer.

Important information ...

Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include

a refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.

The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.

The fluff filters and filter in the condensate container must be cleaned regularly.

Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters and without filter in condensate container!

Fluff filters

During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. Blocked fluff filters may impair the heat exchange

process.

The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle. Rinse regularly under running water a page 4/12.

Filter in the condensate container

The filter in the condensate container cleans the condensation. This condensation is required for the automatic cleaning

process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under running water. Empty the condensate container before cleaning the

filter a page 4,8/12.

Fabrics

Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint: e.g. hair styling products, nail

varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent etc.

Empty all pockets.

Do not dry non-breathable fabrics.

Avoid drying items that produce a lot of fluff.

Woollens should be refreshed only, using the woollens programme.
