Before the first drying cycle
In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a
brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.
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:
• 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.
