Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer to dry them; spin them
thoroughly for at least 30 seconds
after washing.
– Use the Automatic plus programme
for drying mixed loads of cottons and
minimum iron fabrics
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the garment care
label, as the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the larger the load. This is also
the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses. Make sure you
select a suitable programme. If in
doubt, divide the garments into
smaller loads and select Gentle
tumble or Gentle smoothing.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments to avoid the
danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
plastic components in the dryer. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.
