1. Notes on correct laundry care

Heavily soiled laundry must be washed particularly thoroughly. Use
sufficient detergent and select a high wash temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
The tumble dryer must not be used for drying items of laundry
which have been cleaned using industrial chemicals.
New and coloured items must be washed thoroughly and separately.
Do not dry new and coloured items with light coloured garments.
There is the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments
or even plastic components in the tumble dryer. Dark coloured fluff
can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.
Not all fabrics are suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. Please ob-
serve the symbols on the fabric care label.
Observe the instructions on the laundry care label:
-  Dry at normal temperature
-  Dry at low temperature
-  Do not tumble dry
Tip: For even drying results and to avoid damaging fabrics, sort the
laundry by fibre and weave.
 Fire hazard due to drying unsuitable fabrics.
Machine drying unsuitable textiles poses a fire hazard.
Only tumble dry items that have a care label stating that they are
suitable for tumble drying.
The following fabrics must not be dried in a tumble dryer:
- Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials.
- Fabrics treated with inflammable cleaning agents.
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
- Items soiled with oil, grease and similar residues, e.g. kitchen linen
and linen used in beauty clinics.
- Items such as mop heads and floor cloths containing residual wax
or chemicals.
- Damaged items that contain fillings, e.g. pillows and jackets.
- Fabrics contaminated by greases and oils that have not been ad-
equately washed. Use a heavy-duty detergent for very heavily
soiled items (e.g. workwear). Please seek advice from the detergent
and cleaning agent manufacturer in this regard.
Before drying, ensure that there are no foreign objects in the laundry.
