DRYING

Separate drying
The separate drying programme
should be run if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the max-
imum load permitted for drying, or if
you only want to dry part of the load
that was washed.
1. Prepare the laundry
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry according to type of
fibre/weave and the residual moisture
content.
This will help you achieve an even dry-
ing result.
Before drying, check the drying sym-
bol on the care label.
If there is no care label, the article
should only be tumble dried in a pro-
gramme specially designed for it.
Tips on drying
- Do not load the drum with items that
are still soaking wet. Spin the laundry
for at least 30seconds after washing.
- Woollens and wool blends are sus-
ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens pro-
gramme for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the fab-
ric may otherwise become rough.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Therefore,
do not overdry the fabrics to prevent
them from shrinking further. Buy jer-
sey garments that are one or two
sizes bigger.
- Starched laundry can be tumble
dried. 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. The colour
of dark garments can run or fluff from
garments of other colours may settle
on them.
- Observe the maximum loads given
for the drying programmes in the Pro-
gramme chart.
The drying result and amount of
creasing depend on the size of the
load. The smaller the load in the
dryer, the better the result. Therefore,
if you reduce the load, you will
achieve a more even drying result
with less creasing.
