Information on laundry ...

Labelling of fabrics

Follow the manufacturer's care information.

hc

Suitable for tumble drying

(

Dry at normal temperature.

'c

Dry at low temperature.

)c

Do not tumble dry.

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)

a

these may crease.

– Oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

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

(e.g. towels).

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

Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry

a

Risk of creasing.

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

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

a

residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.

a

Do not use the



C/board dry extra

programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers

a

starch leaves behind a coating that

reduces the drying effect.

– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of

fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

– With a small load, use the Timed programme.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine

a

the higher the spin speed, the

shorter the drying time will be, thus less energy is consumed.
Also spin easy-care laundry.

– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it

a

Programme overview, Page 7

.

– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying

.

– Clean the fluff filters after every drying cycle

a
