Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
–
Cotton/linen for programmes in
COTTONS programme group.
– Mixed fibres and synthetics for pro-
grammes in the
SYNTHETICS pro-
gramme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels
mean:
Drying in the tumble
dryer possible in princi-
ple
Dry at normal tempera-
ture
Dry at reduced temper-
ature (press DELICATE
button!)
Drying in the tumble
dryer not possible
Important! Do not place in the appliance any
wet laundry which is not specified on the care
label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry
items which are labelled as suitable for tum-
ble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together
with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with
the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried
using the
WOOL programme. Before
the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as
well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry
woollen textiles together which are similar
or the same with respect to material, col-
our and weight. Please dry heavy laundry
items made of wool separately.
Special notes about Iron Aid
Caution!
• The following textiles cannot be treated
using an Iron Aid programme: woollen
knitwear, leather, textiles with large metal,
wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rust-
ing metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton gar-
ments.
• To smooth or freshen laundry with an Iron
Aid programme, sort laundry by size,
weight, material and colour. Only smooth
textiles together that are similar in terms of
size, weight, material and colour.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together
with light-coloured laundry items. Colours
may fade (check colour fastness of fabric
when damp in an inconspicuous area).
• Do not use dry cleaning sets such as dryel
in combination with Iron Aid programmes.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (pa-
per clips, safety pins, etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics in-
side out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.
Special notes about Iron Aid
• Before treating garments with an Iron Aid
programme, remove stains by washing or
using localised stain removal.
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics in-
side out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks, the
cotton layer should be outermost). These
fabrics will then dry better.
