• Never tumble dry the following:
Net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim,
nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks,
blankets, doonas, sleeping bags, feather quilts
and any items containing rubber foam or
materials similar to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment labels
shown below:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and degree of
drying required.
• Do not overdry laundry. This avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract fluff .
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
• Easycare items , too, e.g. shirts, should be
briefly prespun before drying (depending on
crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of your washing
machine).
• Knitted fabrics may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry these items. It is advisable
to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your dryer.
However, to achieve the desired starched effect,
choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after
drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a
brief postdrying time, but at least 30 minutes .
This will be necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
