Caution
Loose debris (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails)
can damage items of clothing as well as parts of the
washer-dryer (e.g. drum).
Empty all pockets on items of clothing.
■
Brush sand out of pockets and cuffs/turn-ups.
■
Close zips, fasten pillow cases/cushion covers.
■
Remove curtain runners or tie up in a net/bag.
■
Wash in a net/cushion cover:
■
– delicates, e.jg. tights, curtains,
– small laundry items, e.jg. socks, handkerchiefs,
– underwired bras (underwire may become
detached during washing and cause damage).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. jersey
■
garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should be turned
inside out.
Only tumble-dry textiles which have been washed,
■
rinsed and spun.
Remove as much water as possible from the
■
laundry. Do not press the button for reducing the
spin speed.
Before tumble-drying, easy-care items should also
■
be spun using the appropriate spin programme
(see programme table).
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items
■
according to fabric type and degree of drying
required.
Easy-care items should if possible be removed
■
from the machine while still slightly damp and
allowed to continue drying in the open air.
Overdrying may cause excessive creasing.
