Notes and tips on laundry care
Sort the laundry
Garment care label symbols
Before drying
-
Wash heavily soiled items very thoroughly, ensuring that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
-
Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying. -
New dark-coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light-coloured garments the first few times they are washed, to avoid the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments or even the plastic components in the tumble dryer.
Dark-coloured fibres can also settle on light-coloured garments and vice versa. -
Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
-
Check the seams of padded or down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could catch fire in the tumble dryer.
-
Tie together textile belts and apron ties to stop them getting tangled.
-
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being trapped inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes etc.
-
Stitch in or remove loose underwiring from bras.
-
Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
-
For an even drying result, it is important to…
. . . spin,
. . . shake out,
. . . and sort items according to fabric type, size, care label and the drying level required.
Load the tumble dryer
Using the tumble dryer incorrectly could cause a fire. Read the “Warning and
Safety instructions” before using the tumble dryer.
Make sure that objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, have been removed
from the laundry. They could melt and cause damage to the dryer or the
laundry.
- Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.
- To save energy, always observe the maximum load for each programme (see the separate booklet “Commissioning, Programme chart and Settings”).
- Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease more the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses.
If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabrics.
Select a programme
-
On many programmes, different drying levels can be selected depending on individual requirements…
. . . e.g. Normal+ for laundry that you want to fold and put away immediately after drying.
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs further processing after drying. -
See separate booklet
“Commissioning, Programme chart and Settlings”. -
For delicate fabrics with the care label, select Low temperature as well.
-
Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.
-
Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.
-
Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. Only dry these fabrics in a Woollens programme.
-
Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) 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 account.

The following factors all affect the estimated time remaining: residual
moisture content after spinning; type of fabric; size of load; room
temperature; fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics assess conditions in the dryer and adjust the estimated time
remaining for a more accurate reading. Because of this, the time displayed can
alter during the course of a programme.

Cooling down will appear in the display. The programme is not finished until
the cooling down phase has been completed.

It is advisable to remove laundry as soon as the programme has finished.
