Load The Tumble Dryer; Select A Programme - Miele PT 5186 Operating And Installation Instructions

2. Load the tumble dryer

,
Using the tumble dryer
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read
the "Warning and Safety instructions"
before using the appliance.
,
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 "Programme chart").
– 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.
Notes and tips on laundry care

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.
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if
the laundry needs further processing
after drying, e.g. ironing.
See "Programme chart".
– 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.
– 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.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Therefore, do not
overdry these items. When
purchasing these garments it is
advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.
