Preparing the laundry

,
Not all fabrics are suitable for drying in a
tumble dryer. Check the manufacturer's
instructions on the fabric care label.
q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
s = Do not tumble dry
^ Sort the laundry by fabric type and color. This will
ensure even drying results and will prevent
damage to fabrics.
,
To prevent fire, do not dry the following
(with the exception of the textiles permitted in the
special programs):
Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or
rubber-like materials.
Articles that have been treated with flammable
cleaning agents.
Articles that have been contaminated with hair
spray, nail polish remover, etc.
Articles that may be greasy, oily or saturated with
other residues, e.g. kitchen or salon laundry.
Mops, floor cloths, etc. if they contain substances
such as wax or chemical cleaning agents.
Damaged padded or filled fabrics, like jackets or
cushions.
Articles that are not sufficiently clean and are
soiled with grease or oil. Wash very dirty articles
(e.g. work clothing) with a special detergent.
Important drying information:
– Articles made from pure wool and wool mixtures
may become matted. Dry these with the Woolens
program only.
– Pure linen may become rough with tumble drying.
Consult the manufacturer's instructions before

drying.

– Items with metal buckles, hooks, snaps, zippers,
etc. should be put into the dryer in a cloth bag
(e.g. pillow case) to protect the drum from
scratches and dents.
– Articles with closed metal zippers may cause a
short at the sensor electrodes on the drum ribs, so
that the drying process ends too late or does not
end at all. These items should be dried with the
zippers open.
– Loop knit materials tend to shrink. Over-drying
increases this effect. Do not use the highest dry
program for such fabrics.
– Starched laundry can be tumble dried. Select a
program with a suitable residual moisture for
ironing by hand or machine.
Sort the laundry according to the level of dryness
required. It is not necessary to sort according to
size.
– Pillow cases and duvet covers should be buttoned
to prevent smaller items from getting caught inside
them.
– For cost efficiency, only dry full loads. Overloading
provides poor drying results and has an adverse
effect on fabrics.
– If the washing machine's last rinse cycle is with
warm water, a shorter drying time will be required
due to the lower residual moisture and the residual
heat in the laundry.
