1. Notes on correct laundry care
Drying
Useful tip: See the "Programme chart",
which contains everything you need to
know about programmes and load
sizes.
- Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
programme. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is the most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the
fabric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Woollens and wool blends are
susceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these
textiles.
- Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to shrink
after the first wash. To prevent further
shrinkage, avoid overdrying loopknit
fabrics. If possible, choose a slightly
bigger size when buying garments
made from loopknit fabrics.
- If the fabrics are heat-sensitive or
susceptible to creasing, reduce the
load size. You should also select the
Gentle tumble Extra and, for
particularly delicate textiles, the
DryCare 40 Extra.

that are going to be pressed or ironed
