Laundry care when drying in a

le dryer
See the "Programme chart".
This describes the programmes and
gives their maximum load.
– Load according to the optimum
amo
unt of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overload‐
ing gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creas‐
ing.
– With half loads you can select the
Auto load control option.
– Select an appropriate drying level,
e.g. . . .
. . . Normal plus, 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
matted 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 garments it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into ac‐
count.
– Select the Gentle tumble option for
fabric which is par
ticularly heat-sen‐
sitive or susceptible to creasing.
