Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS BAUMWOLLE pogramme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS MISCHGEWEBE pro-
gramme group.
• 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!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL WOLLE programme.
Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200
rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with repect
to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool
separately.
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.
