Before the first drying cycle
In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a
brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
•
Sort by fabric type:
–
Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.
–
Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES pro-
gramme group.
•
Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
•
Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laun-
dry items. Textile colours may bleed.
•
Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme.
Items may become stuck!
•
Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-dry-
ing, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.
Preparing laundry
•
To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings
and tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
•
Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).
•
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-
lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics
will then dry better.
