Drying tips
– Observe the maximum loads, see the
"Program guide".
Overloading the dryer will result in
poor drying and wrinkling.
– Do not place
dripping wet items
in
the dryer. Spin the laundry after the
wash for at least 30 seconds.
– Dry
delicate fabrics
(with the fabric
care symbol
r
) with the "Low
temperature" option.
–
Open jackets
to allow even drying.
–
Starched laundry
can be dried in
the tumble dryer. The amount of
starch should be doubled during the
wash.
– Wash
new, colored items
before
drying for the first time and do not
dry with light-colored items. These
fabrics can "bleed" (also onto plastic
parts of the dryer). Colored lint may
also get on the light colored items.
–
Wool and wool blends
tend to felt
and shrink. Dry wool and wool
blends in the "Woollen handcare"
program.
– The fine fabric of
down filled items
tend to shrink. Dry these items in the
"Smoothing" program.
– Dry
pure linen
items only if it is
recommended on the fabric care
label. The surface of the fabric may
become "rough". Dry these items in
the "Smoothing" program.
–
Knitted fabrics
(e.g. T-Shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink when
washed and dried for the first time.
Do not overdry these fabrics.
–
Permanent press and delicate
fabrics
tend to crease more the
bigger the load size.
For better drying results reduce the
load size or select the "Shirts"
program.
