5.2 Laundry not suitable for 

drying in the dryer

C

Delicate embroidered fabrics, 

woolen, silk garments, 

delicate and valuable fabrics, 

airtight items and tulle 

curtains are not suitable for 

machine drying.

5.3 Preparing laundry for drying

•  Laundry may be tangled with 

each other after washing. 

Separate the laundry items 

before placing them into the 

dryer.

•  Dry garments having metal 

accessories such as zippers, 

inside out.

•  Fasten the zippers, hooks and 

buckles and button sheets. 

5.4 Things to be done for energy 

saving

Following information will help you 

use the dryer in an ecological and 

energy-efficient manner.

•  Spin your laundry at the 

highest speed possible when 

washing them. Thus, the drying 

time is shortened and energy 

consumption is reduced.

•  Sort out the laundry depending 

on their type and thickness. 

Dry the same type of laundry 

together. For example thin 

kitchen towels and table clothes 

dries earlier than thick bathroom 

towels.
