8 Drying tips
50
• Woollen and silk fabrics often carry the «Do not tumble dry» label.
➤ For woollen and silk fabrics, follow the fabric care symbols on garment
labels.
➤ Press the button and select the relevant programme.
• For easy-care fabrics (e.g. shirts and cotton mixed fabrics), additionally
select the easy care function and put only a few items in the drum.
• Knitted and woven items (e.g. T-shirts) tend to shrink. Additionally select
the easy care function.
• Items of clothing with metal fasteners (e.g. overalls) should be tumble dried
using the additional timed drying programme. The metal fasteners
could cause the washing to be overdried in an automatic programme.
Energy saving tips
• Well-spun washing requires a shorter drying time and saves energy.
➤ Spin washing well before tumble drying. Tumble drying largely removes
creases that come from spinning in the washing machine.
• Dirty fluff mesh filters and filter mats reduce the air flow rate when drying
and result in longer drying times and a high energy consumption.
➤ Fluff mesh filters and filter mats must be cleaned regularly in accordance
with the operating instructions.
• The maximum capacity of the relevant programme should be used to its
full extent.
• Small, light wash items dry more quickly; different materials can have
different drying durations.
➤ Sort items according to type and size to avoid over-drying of individual
items.
