1. Notes on correct laundry care
31
Drying
Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”,
which contains everything you need to
know about programmes and load
sizes.
- Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
programme. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is the most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the
fabric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Woollens and wool blends are
susceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these
textiles.
- Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to shrink
after the first wash. To prevent further
shrinkage, avoid overdrying loopknit
fabrics. If possible, choose a slightly
bigger size when buying garments
made from loopknit fabrics.
- If the fabrics are heat-sensitive or
susceptible to creasing, reduce the
load size. You should also select the
Gentle tumble Extra and, for
particularly delicate textiles, the
DryCare40 Extra.
