Before the first use Operating the tumble dryer Drying Changing the programme Programme chart OPERATING THE TUMBLE DRYER DRYING CHANGING THE PROGRAMME SEQUENCE TMV 840 WP en - AU, NZ M.-Nr. 10 204 870/00 ɘBefore using the tumble dryer for the first time, ensure that it is correctly instal- led and connected. If the tumble dryer has not been trans- ported as described in the operating ins- tructions, then it must be left to stand for at least 1 hour before it is connected to the electricity supply. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged. It is essential to read the operating instruc- tions. Energy saving tips To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy: – Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying. – Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used. Under- loading is uneconomical. Overloading gives poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. – Clean the fluff filters in the door and in the door opening after every drying cycle. – Make sure the room temperature is not too high. If there are other heat produ- cing appliances in the room in which the tumble dryer is located, make sure the room is well-ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible. 1. Notes on correct laundry care ɘRemove foreign objects like detergent dispensing devices from the laundry. They can melt and damage the dryer and the laundry. ĺ Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying level required. ĺ Disentangle the laundry. ĺ Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. ĺ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. ĺ Fasten hooks and eyes. ĺ Tie together textile belts and apron ties. ĺ Sew in or remove underwiring from bras. 1 Condensed water container – empty after every drying programme 2 Door 3 Control panel 4 Access panel for the heat exchanger and plinth filter – do not open during drying 5 Cool air intake grille – do not obstruct with a laundry basket or other objects Garment care label symbols Drying Normal/Higher temperature Reduced temperature: Select Gentle tumble (for delicate textiles) Do not tumble dry Ironing Very hot Hot Warm Do not iron Tips on drying – Always observe the maximum recom- mended loads given in the "Programme chart". ɘOverloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disap- pointing drying result and cause more creasing. – Do not load the drum with items that are still soaking wet. Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying. – Minimum iron fabric tends to crease more, the larger the load. This is parti- cularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses. 2. Loading the tumble dryer ĺ Press the button to switch the dryer on. The interior drum lighting will come on. ĺ Open the door. ĺ Unfold the laundry and load loo- sely into the drum. Do not overload the drum. Over- loading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing. ɘIf you are not using a fra- grance flacon: the tab must be pushed down completely (see arrow). ɘWhen closing the door, make sure that laundry does not get trapped in the door opening. ĺ Shut the door with a gentle swing. 1 Touch display 2 Start / Stop sensor For starting the programme selected and cancelling a programme once it has star- ted. 3 sensor Provides information about the selected programme. 4 sensor For returning to the main menu. 5 Optical interface 6 On/Off button Touch display and sensors The , and Start/Stop sensors, as well as the sensors in the display react to finger- tip contact.
