Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example:
– Impermeable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk or curtains made from synthetic material)

a

they may crease

– Laundry contaminated with oil.

Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small items (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry (e.g. hand

towel).

– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.

Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry

a

risk of creasing!

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up

Programme (depending on model).

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while

a

the

remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried

a

do not use the

+

:

Very Dry

programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers

a

starch leaves behind a coating that

adversely affects the drying operation.

– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when

washing the laundry to be dried.

– Use the timer programme for small loads

a

this improves the drying result.

Environmental protection/energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine

a

the higher the spin

speed the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care
laundry.

– Put in, but do not exceed, the maximum recommended quantity of laundry
