Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

•Sort by fabric type:

•Sort by fabric type:

–Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.

–Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES programme group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

Basic drying in	Drying at
tumble dryer	normal
possible	temperature

Drying at reduced temperature (press SPECIAL CARE button!)

Drying in tumble dryer not possible

•Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.

•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items may become stuck!

•Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.

Preparing laundry

•To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

•Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).

•Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
