Tips on drying
–
Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly
after washing using the appropriate
spin speed.
–
For delicates and fabrics with the
following care label r select
Low
temperature
or use the
allerdry -
Minimum iron
programme.
–
Open jackets
so that they can dry
evenly.
–
Woollens and wool blends
tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be partially dried using the
Woollens
hand care
programme.
–
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
Smoothing
programme.
–
Pure linen
should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothing
programme.
–
Loopknit garments
(e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) 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.
– Minimum iron fabrics
and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the greater the load.
This is especially true of very fine
weaves.
Reduce the load or use the
Minimum
iron - Hand iron
programme.
–
Starched laundry
can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
–
New dark coloured garments
should
be washed and dried separately
from light coloured garments to avoid
the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
plastic components in the machine.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
