pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.

Do Not Tumble Dry:
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier
the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.
ALWAYS
Ⴠ Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this
will save time and electricity.
Ⴠ
Check that the filter is clean before every drying
cycle.
NEVER
Ⴠ
Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
Ⴠ
Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this
may damage the appliance.
Energy Saving
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which
have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or
rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes (roughly) the
load is always tumbled in cool air
Do not overload the drum, large items when
wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes
load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
