Care symbols
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care
labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.
Basically, this fabric can be tumble dried; however the manufacturer does not
specify whether it can be dried with normal or low temperature.
Normal drying (normal temperature)
Gentle drying (low temperature)
Do not tumble dry
If none of these symbols is found:
Dry cottons, as well as mixed fabrics, at normal temperature. Press the
“LOW TEMP.” button when delicate cottons have to be dried.
It is advisable to take into consideration the care symbols on garment
labels when buying them.
• Wool, eiderdowns
Do not dry any woollen items in the tumble dryer! They can felt!
Eiderdowns can be tumble dried only if the corresponding care sym-
bol is present.
• Fabrics sensitive to high temperatures
Dry fabrics sensitive to high temperatures (such as acrylic or viscose)
and items bearing the
care symbol using a synthetic drying pro-
grammes.
• Tricot garments, knitwear
Tricot garments and knitwear tend to shrink.
Do not overdry these items. High quality products are less likely to
shrink.
• New coloured fabrics
Do not dry new coloured fabrics with light-coloured laundry. This
could lead to discoloration!
