Preparing laundry for drying

To ensure an even drying result,
Note:
sort the laundry according to the:
Type of fabric
■
Care symbols which are indicated on
■
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
"dryer-proof" or which has the following
care symbols:
a : You can select
■
vCottons/Ú Towels/" Hygiene/
» myTime + Dry
` : You can select
■
Ó Easy-Care/Ñ Mix/Í Wool h/
$ Shirts + Dry
The following textiles should not be
dried:
b = care symbol "Do not dry"
■
Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■
Textiles which contain foam rubber
■
or similar materials.
Textiles which were treated with
■
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
Textiles which still contain hairspray
■
or similar substances.
Notes
Before drying, hand-washed textiles
■
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
Before drying, spin at the optimum
■
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
Do not iron washing immediately
■
after drying. It is recommended to
roll the washing up first to distribute
residual moisture evenly.
To ensure a good drying
■
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than 6
terry cloths (or 5 kg).
Do not exceed the maximum load.
