Care symbols

Ensure articles to be dried are suitable for tumble drying. If they are one of the following symbols should be present on the care label:

R

S Drying with special care (press the SPECIAL CARE (LAGE TEMPERATUUR) button!)

T Do not tumble dry

If you do not find any of these care symbols:

Dry whites and coloureds as well as mixed fabrics at normal tempera- ture. Press the SPECIAL CARE (LAGE TEMPERATUUR) button if you are drying delicate fabrics.

Wool

Do not dry any woollen items in the dryer.

As a follow-up treatment for woollen fabrics in quantities up to 1 kg select the WOOL programme.

Fabrics sensitive to temperatures

Dry fabrics sensitive to temperatures (such as acrylic or viscose) and textiles with the care label S with the SPECIAL CARE (LAGE TEMPERATUUR) button selected.

Cotton jersey and hosiery have a tendency to shrink! Do not dry these fabrics excessively.
