Drying
Tip: See the "Program chart".
This describes the programs and gives
their maximum load.
- Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each program.
This will mean that the energy
consumption for the amount of
laundry is at its most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Smoothing program for
these items.
- You should only tumble dry pure linen
if it is specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as the
surface of the fabric may otherwise
become rough. Only use the
Smoothing program for these items.
- Woolens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only use the Woolens/Silks
program for these items.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g., T-shirts,
underwear) tend to shrink when they
are washed for the first time.
Therefore, do not over-dry the fabrics
to prevent them from shrinking
further. Buy jersey fabrics that are
one or two sizes bigger.
- Select the extra Gentle option for
fabric which is particularly heat-
sensitive or susceptible to creasing.
