Laundry care when drying in a
tumble dryer
See the "Programme chart".
This describes the programmes and
gives their maximum load.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overload‐
ing gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creas‐
ing.
– With half loads you can select the
Auto load control option.
– Select an appropriate drying level,
e.g. . . .
. . . Normal plus, if you want to fold
and put away the laundry after you
take it out of the dryer.
. . . Machine iron, if the laundry, e.g.
table linen, requires further process‐
ing after drying.
1. Notes on correct laundry care
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de‐
pending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Gentle smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may other‐
wise become rough. They can be
partially dried using the Gentle
smoothing programme.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be "fluffed up" in the Woollens hand‐
care programme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry
these textiles. When purchasing
these garments it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into ac‐
count.
– Select the Gentle tumble option for
fabric which is particularly heat-sen‐
sitive or susceptible to creasing.
