Notes and tips on laundry care
2. Load the tumble dryer
,
Using the tumble dryer
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read
the "Warning and Safety instructions"
before using the 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 programme
(see the separate booklet
"Commissioning, Programme 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 programme
– On many programmes, 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.
20
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if
the laundry needs to be ironed after
drying.
See separate booklet
"Commissioning, Programme 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 programme.
– Pure linen items 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 programme.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. Only dry these
fabrics in the Woollens handcare
programme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry .
When purchasing these garments it
is advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.
