There is a danger of fire with the

hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover etc.,
-articles soiled with oils, grease and other
residues e.g. cosmetics,
-articles contaminated with residues such
as wax or chemicals, e.g. mops and floor
cloths,
-articles with damaged padding,
-articles soiled with oils or grease which
have not been sufficiently washed
beforehand. Use heavy-duty detergents
where necessary to clean very dirty
garments, e.g. workwear. If necessary
consult the detergent manufacturer for
advice.
The following textiles should not be
machine dried:
Woollens and wool blends as these tend to
matt and shrink.

Important:
Textiles with large metal accessories such as
buckles, hooks and zip tags should be
placed in a laundry bag or a pillow case
before drying. This is to protect the drum
from scratches and dents during drying.
Garments with closed metal zips can cause
the sensor electrodes in the drum ribs to be
bridged. This can cause the drying process
to go on for too long, or to not finish at all.
Open the zip before drying.
Loopknit and woven textiles have a
tendency to shrink depending on their
quality. This is made worse by over-drying.
Do not use the "Cottons dry plus"
programme for these textiles.
Starched laundry can be machine dried.
Select the most appropriate programme for
ironing by hand or machine.
Sort the laundry according to the level of
dryness required. It is not necessary to sort
according to size.
Duvet covers and pillow cases should be
closed to prevent smaller items rolling up
inside them.
For greater economy dry a full load.
Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading
will impair the drying result and the laundry
finish.
Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the
final rinse will reduce the residual moisture
level further and the residual heat in the
laundry will help the programme duration to
be shortened, thus saving energy.
