Laundry care when drying in a
tumble dryer
See the "Program chart".
This describes the programs and
gives their maximum load.
– Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
program. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is at its most economical.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Smoothing program for
these items.
– You should only tumble dry pure linen
if it is specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. Only use
the Smoothing program for these
items.

– Woolens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only use the Woolens/Silks
program for these items.
– Jersey fabrics (e.g., T-shirts,
underwear) tend to shrink when they
are washed for the first time.
Therefore, do not overdry the fabrics
to prevent them from shrinking
further. Buy jersey fabrics that are
one or two sizes bigger.
– Select the Gentle option for fabric
which is particularly heat-sensitive or
susceptible to creasing.
Selecting the right drying level
– Extra dry or Normal Plus if you want
to fold the laundry after drying and
put it in the closet.
– Normal or Slightly dry for textiles that
can shrink. Or for light cotton or
jersey textiles.
– Hand iron or Machine iron if you want
to iron the laundry after drying.
