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 fabrics for
approx. 30 seconds before drying.
–
Use the Automatic+ programme for
drying mixed loads of cottons and
minimum iron fabrics.
–
Open jackets
so that they can dry
evenly.
–
Pure linen
should only be tumble
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough.
–
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
tend to crease
more, the larger the load. This is also
the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses.
Make sure you select a suitable
programme. If in doubt, reduce the
load and select the Gentle tumble
extra option or the Smoothing easy
care programme.
– Use the Basket programme for
drying / airing items which are not
suitable for drying with mechanical
action. Important: You must use the
Miele drying basket (optional
accessory).
–
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 dryer.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
