Tips on drying

– See the "Programme chart" for
maximum recommended loads for
each programme.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– Do not tumble dry loopknit garments!
Spin garments for at least 30
seconds after washing.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– Use the Automatic plus programme
for drying mixed loads of cottons,
colours and minimum iron fabrics.
– Woollen fabrics and wool blends
tend to shrink and become matted if
dried in a tumble dryer. These
fabrics should only be dried using
the Woollens handcare programme.

Notes on laundry care

– Down-filled fabrics have linings
which have a tendendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
These fabrics should only be dried in
the Smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label.
Otherwise the surface of the fabric
may become rough.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to
shrink after the first wash. Therefore:
To avoid further shrinking, do not
overdry these fabrics. When buying
loopknit garments, it is advisable to
take their shrinkage properties into
account.
– Creasing in minimum iron fabrics
increases with the size of the load.
This applies in particular to very
sensitive fabrics (e.g. shirts,
blouses).
If in doubt, reduce the size of the
load.
– 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 washed separately from light
coloured garments. Do not dry these
together with light garments as they
may lose their colour (also onto
plastic components in the tumble
dryer). Dark coloured fibres can also
settle on light coloured garments and
vice versa.
