DRYING

Separate drying

The separate drying programme
must be used if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the
maximum load permitted for drying,
or if you only want to dry part of the
load that was washed.
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into
the machine to dry them; Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can be partially
dried using the Woollens
programme.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise tend to roughen.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Therefore: Do not
over-dry these textiles. When
purchasing these garments it is
advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately
from light coloured garments to avoid
the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.
Sort the laundry
^ Sort the laundry according to
type of fibre / weave and the residual
moisture content. This will help
achieve an even drying result.
^ Before drying check the drying
symbol on the care label.

s Do not tumble dry
If the care label does not have a drying
symbol on it, the item should only be
dried in a programme named as
suitable for it.
