Separate drying
The separate drying programme
must be used if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the
maximum load permitted for drying,
or if you only want to dry part of the
load that was washed.
^
Before drying check the drying
symbol on the care label.
q Dry at normal temperature
r Dry at a low temperature
(select the
Low temperature
extra
option)
s Do not tumble dry
If there is no symbol, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
– Cottons and minimum iron items
should be dried using the
appropriate programme.
– Delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics, should
be dried at a low temperature (select
the
Low temperature
extra option).
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into
the tumble dryer. Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
–
Woollens and wool blends
tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can be partially
dried using the
Woollens
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 tend to roughen. 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.
– Starched laundry
can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Minimum iron fabrics
and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the larger the load. This
is particulary the case with delicate
fabrics. If in doubt, reduce the load
or use the
Shirts
programme.
–
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. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.
