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
(BAUMWOLLE) programme group.
–
Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY
CARES (MISCHGEWEBE) programme group.
•
Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
•
Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with
light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may
bleed.
•
Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA
DRY (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may
become stuck!
•
Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entan-
gled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the
WOOL CARE (WOLLPFLEGE) 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 (paper-
clips, 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.
