Notes and tips on laundry care

2. Load the tumble dryer

,
Using the tumble dryer
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read
the "IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" before using the
tumble dryer.
,
Make sure that objects, e.g.
detergent dispensing balls, have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.
– Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– To save energy, always observe the
maximum load for each program
(see the separate booklet
"Commissioning, program chart and
Settings").
– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more the greater the load. This is
also the case for garments made
from very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses.
If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabrics.

3. Select a program

– On many programs, different drying
levels can be selected depending on
individual requirements . . .
. . . e.g. Normal+ for laundry that you
want to fold and put away immedi-
ately after drying.
12
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if
the laundry needs further processing
after drying.
See separate booklet
"Commissioning, Program chart and
Settlings".
– For delicate fabrics with the r care
label, select Low temperature as
well.
– 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 program.
– 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 become rough. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothing program.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. Only dry these
fabrics in a Woollens program.
– 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.
