1. Notes on correct laundry care
27
Drying
Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”.
It lists all programmes and their
maximum load.
– 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. Do not overdry
these fabrics to prevent further
shrinking. When buying loopknit
garments, it is advisable to take their
shrinkage potential into account.
– With fabrics that are particularly heat-
sensitive or susceptible to creasing,
reduce the drying load and select
Gentle tumble.
