■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts
or sweatshirts, should be turned
inside out.
■ Ensure that underwired bras are
machine-washable.
■ Wash delicates in a net or bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc).
■ Close zips, button up covers.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or include in
the net/bag.
Preparing laundry for drying
Note: To ensure an even drying result,
sort the laundry according to the:
■ Type of fabric
■ Drying programme
■ Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
“dryer-proof” or which has the following
care symbols:
■ a = Dry at normal temperature
(Intensive Dry 5 )
■ ` = Dry at low temperature
(Gentle Dry ‰ )
The following textiles must not be dried:
■ b = care symbol “Do not dry”
■ Wool or textiles containing wool.
■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■ Textiles which contain foam rubber
or similar materials.
■ Textiles which were treated with
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
■ Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Notes
■ Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■ Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
■ Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to
roll the washing up first to distribute
residual moisture evenly.
■ To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than 5
terry cloths (or 4 kg).
■ Do not exceed the maximum load.
