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

•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the ¼ EXTRA DRY programme. Items may become stuck!

•Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-dry- ing, 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 cotton- lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
