Drying tips
–
Observe the maximum loads, see the
"Program guide".
Overloading the dryer will result in
poor drying and wrinkling.
– Do not place dripping wet items in
the dryer. Spin the laundry after the
wash for at least 30 seconds.
– Dry delicate fabrics (with the fabric
care symbol r) with the "Low
temperature" option.
– Open jackets to allow even drying.
– Starched laundry can be dried in
the tumble dryer. The amount of
starch should be doubled during the
wash.
–
Wash new, colored items before
drying for the first time and do not
dry with light-colored items. These
fabrics can "bleed" (also onto plastic
parts of the dryer). Colored lint may
also get on the light colored items.
–
Wool and wool blends tend to felt
and shrink. Dry wool and wool
blends in the "Woollen handcare"
program.
–
The fine fabric of down filled items
tend to shrink. Dry these items in the
"Smoothing" program.
–
Dry pure linen items only if it is
recommended on the fabric care
label. The surface of the fabric may
become "rough". Dry these items in
the "Smoothing" program.
–
Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink when
washed and dried for the first time.
Do not overdry these fabrics.
– Permanent press and delicate
fabrics tend to crease more the
bigger the load size.
For better drying results reduce the
load size or select the "Shirts"
program.
