1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying

Tip: See the "Programme chart", which
contains everything you need to know
about programmes and load sizes.
- Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load size for each pro-
gramme. This will mean that the en-
ergy consumption for the amount of
laundry is at its most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de-
pending 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 fab-
ric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-Ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Woollens and wool blends are sus-
ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these tex-
tiles.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. To prevent
further shrinkage, avoid overdrying
jersey fabrics. If possible, choose a
slightly bigger size when buying gar-
ments made from jersey 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 particu-
larly delicate textiles, the DryCare 40
extra.

thick fabrics
