• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

| maybe tumble dried| | delicate drying (low temperature)
---|---|---|---
| normal drying (high temperature)| | do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items from getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips, hooks, tie belts, and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light-colored fluffy items such as towels as they could attract fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
•  Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items from getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips, hooks, and tie belts, and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.
• Easy-care items, e.g. Shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not over-dry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the program “Iron dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes, this will be necessary, particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.)

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins)
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks, and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
Close zips, button up duvet covers, and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. Of aprons).
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. With cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
