Before loading the dryer
– The fine cotton fabric or down filled
items tends to shrink.
Clean the drum interior before the
first use.
– Dry pure linen items only if it is
advised on the fabric care label. The
surface of the fabric otherwise tends
to become "rough".
Fabric care labels
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink when
washed and dried for the first time.
Do not overdry these fabrics.
Before drying, check fabric care labels
for special drying instructions.
q = Drying with a normal temperature
r = Drying with a low temperature
s = Do not dry in a tumble dryer
– Permanent press and delicate
fabrics tend to crease more the
bigger the load size.
Drying tips
For better drying results reduce the
load size or select the "Delicates"
program.
– Observe the maximum loads, see the
"Program Guide".
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. However, the amount
of starch must be doubled during the
wash.
Overloading the dryer will result in
poor drying results and wrinkling.
– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric
care symbol r with the "Gentle"
option.
– Wash new, colored items before
drying for the first time and do not
dry with light-colored items. These
fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic
parts of the dryer). Colored lint could
adhere to light-colored items.
– Do not dry dripping wet items in the
dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash
for at least 30 seconds.
– Open jackets to allow even drying.
– Wool and wool blends tend to felt
and shrink. Dry these items in the
"Woolens" program.

Ducting
How to calculate the effective
duct length
Tips about the ductwork
– Check with your local building code
to determine the maximum allowable
duct length.
The overall duct length will determine
the duct diameter.
– Rigid metal or flexible aluminum
ducting is preferred. Flexible foil
ducting may move and bounce due
to the high airflow of the dryer. This
could lead to a thumping or grinding
noise.
^ Measure the actual duct length
needed to go from the dryer’s
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:
1. Establish the number of elbows or
bends necessary, noting the type of
bend, angle and radius involved
(see Table).
– Non-metallic flexible hose should not
be used. It is a potential fire hazard.
2. Add the additional duct length (as
derived by using the values
specified in the table) to the actual
duct length to get the effective
length.
– For best drying results avoid extra
long ducting with too many bends,
angles or tight corners.
– The shorter the exhaust ductwork,
the more efficient the dryer will be.
Expelled air is slowed down in the
ducts due to friction against the inner
walls. The shorter and smoother the
inner walls are, the less friction will
be created.
Note:
Maximum effective duct lengths:
4" (100 mm) diameter
5" (125 mm) diameter
6" (150 mm) diameter
66 ft (20 m)
131 ft (40 m)
328 ft (100 m)
– An elbow or bend creates more
friction than a straight duct. An
additional duct length factor must be
added for each elbow or bend (see
Table). This factor expresses the
resistance of the bend in terms of a
straight length of duct.
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)
require a larger duct diameter.
Longer ducts may lead to decreases in
dryer efficiency if the next larger duct
diameter is not followed.
The additional length factor is then
added to the existing duct to give the
effective duct length.
A larger duct diameter helps to
reduce friction. Therefore duct
diameter should be increased if
longer duct lengths are required.
