 in addition, select 

“

delicado

)c

Do not tumble dry.

Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:

– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) 

a

 these may crease.

– Oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent drying 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. towels).

– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.

Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry 

a

 risk of creasing.

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer

a

 programme (

depending on model

)

.

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

a

 residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.

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

a

 Do not use the 

extra seco 

(very dry)

 

programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers 

a

 starch leaves behind a coating that 

reduces the drying effect.

– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of 

fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed 

programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.

Environmental protection/energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine 

a

 higher spin speeds minimise 

the drying time and reduce energy consumption.

– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
