Information on laundry ...
Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
(cDrying at normal temperature.
'cDrying at low temperature -> also select (Low heat).
)cDo not machine dry.
Observe safety instructions without fail -> Page 11!
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) -> 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).
– Fold up large items of laundry (bed sheets) before drying.
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry -> risk of creasing!
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up -> Page 7, WOOL FINISH
Programme.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while -> the
remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried ->
do not use the EXTRA DRY programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers -> 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 -> this improves the drying result.
Environmental protection/energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine -> 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 ->
programme overview -> Page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do obstruct or seal up the air inlet.
Only when switched off!

Information on laundry ...
Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
(cDrying at normal temperature.
'cDrying at low temperature -> also select (Low heat).
)cDo not machine dry.
Observe safety instructions without fail -> Page 11!
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) -> 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).
– Fold up large items of laundry (bed sheets) before drying.
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry -> risk of creasing!
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up -> Page 7, WOOL FINISH
Programme.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while -> the
remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried ->
do not use the EXTRA DRY programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers -> 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 -> this improves the drying result.
Environmental protection/energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine -> 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 ->
programme overview -> Page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do obstruct or seal up the air inlet.
Only when switched off!
