Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry 

(e.g. hand towels).

– Fasten zips, hooks and eyelets, button covers and tie together cloth belts, bands, etc.
– Do not overdry easy-care laundry 

a

 risk of creasing

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while 

a

 the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.

 Do not use the 

 

Cupbord Dry Plus 

+

+

 programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers 

a

 starch leaves behind a coating that 

adversely affects the drying operation.

– When washing the laundry that is to be tumble-dried, measure the fabric softener in 

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

– Using a timer programme with a small laundry load 

a

 optimisation of the drying result.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine 

a

 the higher the spin 

speed, the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care 
laundry.

– Use the maximum recommended fill level but do not overload with laundry
