Drying
Tip: See the “Program chart”.
This describes the programs and gives
their maximum load.
- Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each program. This
will mean that the energy consump-
tion for the amount of laundry is at its
most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de-
pending on the quality of the item.
Only use the SoftSteam program for
these items.
- You should only tumble dry pure linen
if it is specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as the
surface of the fabric may otherwise
become rough. Only use the Soft-
Steam program for these items.
- Woolens and wool blends tend to be-
come matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only use the Woolens Hand-
care program for these items.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g., T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Therefore,
do not over-dry the fabrics to prevent
them from shrinking further. Buy jer-
sey fabrics that are one or two sizes
bigger.
- Select the Gentle extra option for fab-
ric which is particularly heat-sensitive
or susceptible to creasing.
