Laundry care when drying in a

See the "Programme chart".
This describes the programmes and
gives their maximum load.
– Load according to the optimum
amou
nt of laundry recommended for
the programme being used.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Select an appropriate drying level,
e.g. . . .
. . .
Normal if you want t
o fold and put
away the laundry after you take it out
of the dryer.
. . .
Machine iron if
the laundry, e.g.
table linen, requires further
processing after drying.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which
have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Gentle smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manu
facturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. They can
be partially dried using the
Gentle
smoothing programme.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matt
ed and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be "fluffed up" in the
Woollens
handcare
programme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
under
wear) 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.
– Select the Gentle tumble option for
fabric which is par
ticularly heat-
sensitive or susceptible to creasing.
