r
Dry at low temperature
(select the Drying/low temp
additional option)
s
Do not tumble dry
If there is no symbol, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
– Cottons and minimum iron items
should be dried using the
appropriate programme.
– Delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics, should
be dried at a low temperature (select
the Drying/low temp additional
option).
The following fabrics should not be
tumble dried:
– Woollens and wool blends
these fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink.
– Items filled with down
the fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality involved.
– Pure linen
should only be machine dried if
specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the wash care label,
as the surface of the fabric may
otherwise tend to roughen.
Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.
T-Shirts, knitted garments) tend to
shrink to varying extents depending on
their quality. Therefore: to prevent
further shrinkage do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Fabrics which crease easily should only
be given a short period in the dryer.
Minimum iron shirts in 100% cotton may
crease during tumble drying depending
on the quality of the weave. Use a short
programme with a low setting. In
extreme cases do not tumble dry these
garments, but dry them on a hanger.
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the greater the load. This is
particulary the case with delicate
fabrics. Reduce the load.
New dark coloured garments should
be dried separately from light coloured
garments to avoid the danger of
colours running.
