Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example:
– Impermeable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk or curtains made from synthetic material) 

a

 they may crease

– Laundry contaminated with oil.

Drying tips

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

(e.g. hand towel).

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

Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry 

a

 risk of creasing!

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up 

a

 

Page 7, 

Woollens Finish 

Programme (depending on model).

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

a

 the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing.

– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried 

a

do not use the 

Cupboard Dry Extra

 programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers 

a

 starch leaves behind a coating that 

adversely affects the drying operation.

– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when 

washing the laundry to be dried.

– Use the timer programme for small loads 

a

 this improves 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.

– Put in, but do not exceed, the maximum recommended quantity of laundry
