valuable information as well as
limitations about the drying
process.
Do not dry the following textiles in
the dryer:
- Air-tight textiles
(e.g. rubberized).
- Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains).
Drying tips
In principle, the following applies to
all drying programs:
To ensure a uniform drying
result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and
drying program.
- Fasten zippers, hooks and
eyes. Fasten loose belts, apron
strings, etc..
- Do not overdry easy-care
laundry - risk of wrinkling!
Leave laundry to dry in the air.
Do not iron laundry immediately
after drying. Place the laundry
in a pile for a short while.
Residual moisture will then be
distributed uniformly.
Knitted textiles (e.g. T-shirts,
cotton jersey laundry) often
shrink when dried for the first
time. Do not use the "Very
dry/Extra dry" program.
