Preparing the Clothes

NOTE

• For the best drying performance and most efficient energy usage, do not overload

the appliance.

Sorting the Clothes

Clothes have their own fabric care labels,

so drying according to the fabric care

label is recommended.
Sort the clothes into size and type of

fabric and then prepare the clothes

according to the symbols on the fabric

care labels.

Woollens

• Dry woollens on the

Wool

programme.

Be sure to follow fabric care label

symbols first. Wool may not be

completely dried from the cycle, so do

not repeat drying. Pull woollens to

their original shape and dry them flat.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials

may shrink, depending on quality.

No-Iron and Synthetics

• Do not overload the appliance. Take

out no-iron items as soon as the

appliance stops to reduce creases.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

• Always check fabric care labels.

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or

containing rubber or plastics such as:
- Aprons, Bibs and Chair Covers
- Curtains and Tablecloths

- Bath Mats

Fiberglass

• Do not dry fiberglass items in the

appliance. Glass particles left in the

appliance may be subsequently picked

up by your clothes in later cycles.

Checking the Fabric Care

Label

The symbols on the fabric care label tell

you about the fabric content of your

clothes and how they should be dried.
