DRYING

Separate drying

The separate drying programme must be used if the load in the wash programme is greater than the maximum load permitted for drying, or if you only want to dry part of the load that was washed.

Tips on drying

Do not put soaking wet items into the machine to dry them; Spin them thoroughly after washing using the appropriate spin speed.

–Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can be partially dried using the Woollens programme.

–Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.

–Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise tend to roughen.

–Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Therefore: Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

–Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

–New dark coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

￿Sort the laundry

type of fibre / weave and the residual moisture content. This will help achieve an even drying result.
