Tips on drying
Woollens and wool blends tend to be
-
come matted and shrink if dried in a
tumble dryer. They can, however, be
partially dried using the
Woollens hand
care
programme.
Items filled with down.
The fine fabric interior of these items
may shrink depending on the quality.
These items can be partially dried us
-
ing the
Smoothing
programme.
Pure linen
should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the wash care label,
as the surface of the fabric may other
-
wise "roughen". These items can be
partially dried using the "Smoothing"
programme.
Woven and loopknit materials
(e.g.
T-shirts, knitted garments) have a ten
-
dency to shrink, depending on their
quality and this is made worse by
over-drying. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
Minimum iron
fabrics and 100% cotton
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,
the larger the load being dried,
particulary when the weave of the fab-
ric is very fine. Reduce the load or use
the Special care
Minimum iron - Hand
iron
programme. If this is unsatisfactory
use the "Smoothing" setting, then hang
the garments on a hanger to dry.
Starched laundry
can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
New dark coloured garments
should be
dried separately from light coloured
garments to avoid the danger of col-
ours running.
