Adjust Level Ô If the laundry is too damp after drying, you can finely adjust the dryness level e.g.
Cupboard Dry. The dryness level can be increased with the degree of dryness in
three stages, from C Ô to CCC Ô.
If you have adjusted the dryness level, the setting for all programmes with a selecta-
ble dryness level is retained even after the dryer is switched off.
Note: The higher the degree of dryness, the longer the programme duration.
Drying Time û Adjust the programme length for the time programmes. Between 20 minutes
and 3 hours, in 10-minute increments.
Finish In 5 The programme will end in 1-24 hrs. Set the "Ready in" time in increments of one
hour to delay the start of the programme. The required number of hours after the
programme ends is displayed in the display panel.
Less Ironing The drum moves the laundry at regular intervals for 60 or 120 minutes after drying,
in any programme, to prevent creasing.

■ If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
