Drying tips

– Always check the weight
recommendation for maximum loads
as listed in the "Program Overview"
section.
Overloading will cause wear and
tear on the laundry, give a poor
drying result and cause more
creasing.
–Do not dry fabrics that are still
soaking wet! After washing, spin
fabrics for at least 30 seconds.
–Dry mixed loads of cottons, colors
and easy-care fabrics in the in the
Express program.
–Open jackets so that they dry evenly.
–Woolens and wool blends tend to
mat and shrink. Only handle these
fabrics in the Woolens program.
–The linings of down-filled garments,
depending on quality, tend to shrink.
Handle these fabrics only in the
Smoothing program.
– Pure linens are dried only when
indicated on the care label.
Otherwise the fabric may become
rough. Handle these fabrics only in
the Smoothing program.
– Cottons (such as T-shirts and
underwear) depending on quality,
often shrink at the first wash.
Therefore: to avoid further shrinkage,
do not over-dry these textiles.
–Starched laundry may be dried. To
achieve the usual finish, however,
use a double amount of starch.
–Wash new colored fabrics separately
before the first drying. Do not dry
them together with light-colored
fabrics since their colors may run
and discolor other garments or even
plastic dryer components.
