Do not dry any wool or wool mixtures - these fabrics will felt.
Down-filled articles such as eider-downs should not be dried in a
tumble dryer unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
article. Linen should only be dried in the tumble dryer if the manu¬
facturer of the article recommends this, tumble drying tends to
make the surface of the article rough.
Check whether the manufacturer of the garment has recommen¬
ded tumble drying on the care label in the garment. You will find the
following symbols in the garments.

Thefullerthe drumthe more creasing will occur. We recommend to
reduce the load to 1.5 kg or less for minimum iron fabrics particu-
larly those which are large or light in weight. For loads belowl.5 kg
we recommend that you use a time controlled drying cycle as the
electronic sensor cannot accurately sense small loads.
These garments tend to shrink during tumble drying, remember
this when buying new articles and choose size accordingly. Take
care not to over-dry these garments and do not choose the pro¬
gramme "extra-dry". Shrinkage should however be minimal if
good quality garments are chosen.
Starched laundry can also betumble dried. To achieve the starched
effect use double the dose of starch. Wipe my drum with a damp
cloth after drying to remove any starch residues.
Spin your laundry well before tumble drying. We recommend at
least 800 rpm. Higherspinspeedswill reduce the drying times and
the energy consumption. For easy-care fabrics choose the special
spin which you will find on your washing machine for these fabrics.
