items should be dried using the
appropriate programme for the
degree of dryness required.

– For delicates and fabrics with the
following wash care label r you
should also select the Low
temperature extra.
Never overload the drum. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended
loads given in the "Programme
chart". Overloading can cause
unnecessary wear and tear to the
laundry, give a disappointing drying
result and cause more creasing.
Do not put soaking wet items into
the tumble dryer. Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be partially dried using the Woollens
hand care programme.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which may shrink, depending on the
quality of the item. They can be
partially dried using the Smoothing
programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the wash care label,
as the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. These
garments can be partially dried
using the Smoothing programme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Therefore: to prevent
further shrinkage do not over-dry
these textiles. When purchasing
these garments it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into
account.
– Minimum iron fabrics and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the larger the load,
particularly when the weave of the
fabric is very fine.
Reduce the load or use the Minimum
iron - Hand iron programme.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– New dark coloured garments should
be dried separately from light
coloured garments to avoid the
danger of colours running.
