This chapter includes several advices on how to
prepare the laundry from drying.
LAUNDRY SORTING
Sort the laundry according to:
• type,
• fabric
thickness.
For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is
made of a similar material.
CLOTHING
1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop
fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. Turn the pockets inside out.
3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose
laundry washing bag.
(The special purpose laundry bag is available as
an optional accessory in general stores.)
Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun
at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds
will save energy and cut drying time.
If you decide to dry only one large item, we
recommend drying it separately from smaller items of
laundry.
