An Unsatisfactory Drying Result - Miele T 8861 WP Edition 111 Operating Instructions Manual

An unsatisfactory drying result

Problem
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
Garments or
downfilled pillows
develop an
unpleasant odour
due to tumble
drying.
Items made of
synthetic fibres are
charged with static
electricity after
drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.
Possible cause
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
Tip: You can alter the drying
levels for some
programmes.
– Not enough laundry
detergent was used
during washing.
– Feathers have the
tendency to develop a
characteristic odour
when exposed to heat.
Synthetic fibres tend to
attract a static charge.
Fluff is principally the result
of friction when garments
are being worn and to some
extent when they are being
washed. While fluff
detaches itself during
drying, very little of it forms
in the tumble dryer.
Problem solving guide
Remedy
– Final drying cycle with
Warm air.
– Select a different
programme next time.
See "Programmable
functions".
– Garments: Use sufficient
laundry detergent.
– Pillows: Air pillows
outside the tumble dryer.
Static charge can be
reduced by adding a fabric
softener to the final rinse in
the washing programme or
a fabric conditioner sheet to
the load when drying.
Fluff is collected by the fluff
filters and can be easily
removed (see "Cleaning
and Care").
