Drying tips

– Observe the maximum loads, see the
"Programs guide".
Overloading the dryer will result in
poor drying and wrinkling.
– Do not place dripping wet items in
the dryer! Spin the laundry after the
wash for at least 30 seconds.
– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric
care symbol r with the "Low
temperature" option.
– Open jackets to allow even drying.
– Starched laundry can be dried in
the tumble dryer. The amount of
starch must be doubled during the
wash.
– Wash new, colored items before
drying for the first time and do not
dry with light-colored items. These
fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic
parts of the dryer). Colored fluff may
also get on the light colored items.

– Wool and wool blends tend to felt
and shrink. Dry wool and wool
blends in the "Woollen handcare"
program.
– The fine fabric of down filled items
tend to shrink. Dry these items in the
"Smoothing" program.
– Dry pure linen items only if it is
recommended on the fabric care
label. The surface of the fabric may
become "rough". Dry these items in
the "Smoothing" program.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink when
washed and dried for the first time.
Do not overdry these fabrics.
– Permanent press and delicate
fabrics tend to crease more the
bigger the load size.
For better drying results reduce the
load size or select the "Shirts"
program.
