Notes on laundry care
Before drying, check the instructions
on the fabric care label.
The following fabrics should not be
dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink.
– Items filled with down
The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item
involved.
–Purelinen
These items should only be machine-
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the textile care label.
The surface of the fabric may other-
wise tend to become “rough”.
Miele dryers have been designed to
dry laundry free of static cling, without
the use of dryer softener sheets or simi-
lar products. The dryer continuously
monitors the moisture content of the
laundry, and automatically shuts off the
heat when the selected degree of dry-
ness is reached. Through the use of a
cool down period, (where the machine
operates without heat), cool, static free
laundry is the end result. Dryer softener
sheets perform the same function by
depositing a chemical residue on both
the clothes and the interior of the dryer.
Over time, this coating may lead to per-
formance reductions in the dryer.
If fabric softening is desired, it is more
convenient, economical and beneficial to
the clothing if a liquid softener is auto-
matically dispensed while the clothes are
in the washing machine. Please see the
washing machine operating instructions
for directions on how to automatically dis-
pense a liquid softener.
Notes:
Knitted fabrics and flannel sheets tend
to shrink when washed for the first time
and also when dried. They should not
be overdried (Extra dry)!
Starched laundry can also be dried in
the tumble dryer.
Permanent press items should be
briefly spun in the washing machine be-
fore drying. Items which are prone to
creasing should not be dried in the
“PERMANENT PRESS- Normal +” - Pro-
gram.
Drip-dry shirts made of pure cotton
may tend to crease, depending on the
quality of their finish.
These items should be dried in a
“Hand iron”program.
Permanent press fabrics tend to crease
more as the size of the load increases.
This is particularly true of very delicate
fabrics. The load should be reduced to
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.
Do not dry new dark-colored fabrics
together with light-colored items as
they may discolor.
