Drying programmes

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as

net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics

with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky

materials such as anoraks, blan-

kets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags,

feather quilts and any items con-

taining rubber foam or materials

similar to rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on

garment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with

fasteners to prevent small laundry

items getting tangled inside them.

Close press studs, zips and hooks

and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and

degree on drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids

creasing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light

coloured fluffy items such as towels

as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly

spun before tumble drying.

• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts,

should be briefly pre-spun before

drying (depending on crease resist-

ance approx. 30 seconds or using

the special brief spin programme on

your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)

may shrink a little during drying.

Please do not overdry items of this

type. It is advisable to allow for

shrinkage when choosing the size

of new purchases.

• You can also put starched items

into your dryer. However, to achieve

the desired starched effect, choose

the programme “iron dry”. To

remove any starch residues, wipe

out the internal drum after drying

with a moist cloth and then rub it

dry.

• To avoid a static charge when dry-

ing is completed, use either a fabric

softener when you are washing the

laundry or a fabric conditioner

specifically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer

Before the first use

Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the installation instructions.

• Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.

• Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you

place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying hints

has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp

after drying, set a brief post-drying

time, but at least 30 minutes. This

will be necessary particularly for

multilayered items (e.g. collars,

pockets, etc.).

Make sure that no metal objects are

left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,

safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip

fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie

any belts or long tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled:

close zips, button up duvet covers

and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of

aprons). Turn items with double-lay-

ered fabrics inside out (e.g. with

cotton lined anoraks, the cotton

layer should be outermost). These

fabrics will then dry better.

the programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too

tightly packed;
