Hygiene programmes
In the Hygiene programmes the temperature is held constant for a longer period
of time to deactivate micro-organisms, e.g. bacteria or house dustmites, and
also to reduce the number of allergens in the laundry.
If Hygiene appears in the display, this indicates that the hygienic drying process
is running. The programme should not be interrupted, as this would prevent the
micro-organisms from being deactivated.
