Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in
Cottons programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes
in Synthetics programme group.
• Sort by care label: The care labels mean:
Drying in the tumble dryer possible in
principle
Drying at normal temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Drying in the tumble dryer not possible
Important! Do not place in the appliance
any wet laundry which is not specified on the
care label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry
items which are labelled as suitable for
tumble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together
with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with
the Extra programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried
using the Wool programme. Before the
drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well
as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry
woollen textiles together of similar or the
same material, colour and weight. Please
dry heavy laundry items made of wool
separately.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items
(paper clips, safety pins, etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.
