Preparation of washing

Before using for the first time
Wipe the inside of the drum with a soft dry
cloth before loading the drum with laundry.
Preparing the laundry
Sort the laundry according to fabric type and
weave in order to achieve an even drying re-
sult.
Not all textiles are suitable for drying in a tum-
ble dryer. Therefore pay special attention to
the manufacturer's instructions in the wash
care label.
Significance of symbols:
q
= Dry at normal temperature
r
= Dry at low temperature
s
= Do not tumble dry
Articles made from pure wool and wool mix-
tures tend to become matted and shrink. They
should not be dried in a tumble dryer.
The surface of pure linen is liable to be rough-
ened by tumble drying. Consult the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Important: Any laundry item with metal buck-
les, hooks, eyes, zip tags etc. should be put
into the dryer in a cloth bag (eg. pillowcase) to
protect the drum from scratches and dents.
Closed zips in garments may bridge the sen-
sor electrodes in the drum ribs causing the dry-
ing process not to end or to end too late. Items
with zips should be dried with the zips open.
Padded or filled fabrics (eg. jackets or cush-
ions) should not be dried. If the filling falls out
it could cause a fire
Some woven and loopknit materials tend to
shrink to varying extents depending on their
quality. This tendency is exaggerated by over-
drying. Avoid the Extra dry programme for
such fabrics.
Starched washing can be dried in the tumble
dryer. Select the most suitable programme for
ironing by hand or machine.
Sort the laundry according to the level of dry-
ness required. It is not necessary to sort ac-
cording to size.
Duvet covers and pillow cases should be
closed to prevent smaller items rolling up in-
side them.
For greater economy dry a full load, underload-
ing is uneconomical. Do not overload as this
will impair the drying result and the laundry fin-
ish.
