Drying

Preparing the laundry

• To prevent tangled bundles of laundry: Close zip fasteners; button-up 

bed linen and pillow cases; tie-together loose tapes, e.g. of aprons.

• Empty all pockets.

• Remove all metal objects (paper clips, safety pins, etc.).

• Turn clothing consisting of double-layer fabric inside out (such as 

cotton-lined anoraks with the cotton layer facing outwards). These 
fabrics then dry better.

• Loosen the laundry.

Open the fill-in door

To open the fill-in door:

• Press firmly against the door (Press position 

).

Fill-in the laundry

Caution!
