Hygiene
Use for Cottons and linen fabric which is in direct contact with the skin, e.g.
underwear, baby clothes, bed linen, towelling.
Note The temperature is held constant for a longer period of time (longer
temperature holding time) to deactivate micro-organisms, e.g.
bacteria or house dustmites, and also to reduce the number of
allergens in the laundry.
To ensure that the micro-organisms are deactivated, do not interrupt
the programme.
Warm air
Use for – Drying voluminous and multi-layered fabric whose layers have
different drying characteristics, e.g. jackets, pillows.
– For drying individual items, e.g. bath towels, swimwear, tea-towels.
Note Do not select the longest drying time to start with. Check the items as
you are drying them to find the optimum time.
Note You can use the Warm air programme to help remove odours from
clean cotton clothing (select a duration of between 1/2 and 1 hour).
Items must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. Dampen the
garments a little beforehand. Odours will not be removed as
effectively from any parts of the garments which are made of
synthetic fibres.
Gentle smoothing
Use for – Cotton and linen fabric
– Minimum iron mixed fibre, cotton or synthetic fabric, e.g. trousers,
anoraks, shirts
Notes – Suitable for dry and damp laundry.
Dry garments are time-controlled, damp garments are smoothed to
the Hand iron stage.
– Smooths out creasing caused during the spin cycle in the washing
machine.
– Remove garments as soon as the programme has finished so that
they are easy to iron.
