Drying tips
In principle, the following applies to
all drying programs:
- To ensure a uniform drying
result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and
drying program.
- Fasten zippers, hooks and
eyes. Fasten loose belts,
apron strings, etc..
- Do not overdry easyĆcare
laundry ć risk of wrinkling!
Leave laundry to dry in the air.
- Do not iron laundry immediately
after drying. Place the laundry
in a pile for a short while.
Residual moisture will then be
distributed uniformly.
- Knitted textiles (e.g. TĆshirts,
cotton jersey laundry) often
shrink when dried for the first
time. Do not use the "Very
dry/Extra dry" program.
