Before the first drying cycle

In order to remove any residues which may have
been produced during production, wipe the dryer
drum with a damp cloth or carry out a brief drying
cycle (20 MIN) with damp cloths in the machine.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS
(BAUMWOLLE) programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY
CARES (MISCHGEWEBE) programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
n
Basic drying
in tumble dryer possible
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with
light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may
bleed.
• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA
DRY (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may
become stuck!
• Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entan-
gled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the
WOOL CARE (WOLLPFLEGE) programme.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips,
button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons
(e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paper-
clips, safety pins etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out
(e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer
should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry
better.
