Laundry care when drying in a

See the "Programme chart".
This describes the programmes and
gives their maximum load.
– Load according to the optimum
amou
nt of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overloading
gives a poorer quality of drying and
may cause unnecessary creasing.
– Select an appropriate drying level,
e.g. . . .
. . .
Normal if you want t
o fold and put
away the laundry after you take it out
of the dryer.
. . .
Machine iron if
the laundry, e.g.
table linen, requires further process‐
ing after drying.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which
have a tendency to shrink, de‐
pending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Gentle smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manu
facturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may other‐
wise become rough. They can be
partially dried using the
Gentle
smoothing programme.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matt
ed and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be "fluffed up" in the
Woollens hand‐
care pr
ogramme.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
under
wear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these gar‐
ments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Select the Gentle tumble option for
fabric which is par
ticularly heat-sen‐
sitive or susceptible to creasing.
