Important
information
Washing drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
Empty pockets.
Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.
Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.
Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.
Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.
Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun using the appropriate spin speed.
Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
of
â
drying required.
Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
is
â
evenly distributed.
To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile
items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
