Washing and drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
 Empty pockets.
 Remove any metal items (paperclips, etc.).
 Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should

 Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
 In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
ofâdrying required.
 Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
isâevenly distributed.
To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile
items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
