Preparing laundry for drying
Sort the laundry according to the symbols
on the fabric care labels.
Only put items in the machine which are label-
led as suitable for tumble-drying or bear the
following care symbols:
= tumble-dry at normal heat setting
= tumble-dry at low heat setting
(gentle drying)
! The following textiles should not be tumble-
dried:
- Fabrics marked with the care symbol
= do not tumble-dry
- Woollens or items containing wool.
Risk of shrinking!
- Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtains).
Risk of creasing!
- Items containing foam rubber or similar
material.
- Items which have been treated with inflam-
mable solvents, such as stain removes, pe-
trol, paint thinners. Explosion hazard!
- Items still containing hair lacquer or similar
substances. Dangerous vapours!
- Dripping-wet laundry. Waste of energy!
Do not exceed the machine s maximum
capacity when sorting the laundry. Do not
overload the washer/dryer.

Practical tips
Only tumble-dry textiles which have been
washed, rinsed and spun.
Remove as much water as possible from
the laundry. Do not press the button for
reducing the spin speed.
Before tumble-drying, easy-care items
should also be spun using the appropriate
spin programme (see programme table).
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the
items according to fabric type and degree
of drying required.
Easy-care items should if possible be re-
moved from the machine while still slightly
damp and allowed to continue drying in the
open air. Over-drying may cause excessive
creasing.
Items which require ironing do not have to
be ironed immediately after they have been
tumble-dried. It is a good idea to fold or roll
them together for a while, so that any re-
maining moisture is evenly distributed.
