10 Sorting and preparing laundry
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
Drying in the tumble
dryer possible in prin-
ciple
Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care
label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable
for tumble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items.
Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may
shrink!
• Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying, wool may
be dried with the WOOL CARE WOL programme.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie
loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal 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.
