Never dry wool or wool mixtures (felting risk).
Down-filled fabrics should also not be dried in me, since, depending
on quality, the fine internal fibres tend to shrink. Linen fabrics may be
dried only if you find a manufacturer's instruction to that effect. The
fabric may "roughen" if I am improperly used for tumble-drying.
Check that the garments to be dried are suitable for drying in a
tumble dryer. Appropriate information is given on the garment care
label.
The following symbols are important for tumble-drying:
Tumble-drying is basically possible
Normal drying
Gentle drying
Tumble-drying not allowed
Laundry with care label markjxjshould not be dried in me.
We recommend you to dry temperature-sensitive laundry (e. g.
acrylics and laundry marked Hon the care label in the gentle pro¬
gramme (S-button pressed).
If the indicated care symbols are missing, proceed as follows: Dry
your whites and coloureds and your easy-care fabrics at normal
temperature, ensuring the respectively optimum load owing to
creasing. You should dry sensitive garments at reduced heating
capacity, i. e. with the gentle button pressed.
The danger of creases rises with a greater load. You should there¬
fore reduce the load to 1.5 kilos or even less, particularly with very
delicate fabrics.
Knitwear tends to shrink. If you buy such materials, take note of this
fact when choosing sizes, and avoid "overdrying" of this laundry
(therefore never select the extra drying programme). The risk of
shrinkage, however, is low for high-quality branded laundry.
You can also tumble-dry starched laundry. To retain the required
starched effect, use twice as much starch when starching.
When you have taken out your laundry, it is advisable to wipe my
drum with a damp cloth to remove any starch residues.
