C B A F E D -6- General washing and drying information Sorting Always sort loads for drying according to the type of fabric (check the care labels) and how much you want to dry them. Close any tapes or fasteners on duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent smaller items from getting trapped inside. Starched items Laundry which has been starched can also be dried in a tumble dryer. For best results you should choose a drying time which ensures that the items are still slightly damp, e. g. by following the recommendations to achieve "damp dry (for ironing)". Then dry the drum to remove any last traces of starch. Spinning (water extraction) Loads should be well spun. We recommend that you use a washing machine with a minimum spin speed of 800 rpm, or a separate spin-dryer ("Hydro-extractor") if available. The higher the spin speed, the faster your tumble dryer will dry the load and the more energyefficient the whole process will be. Even permanent press garments such as shirts should be spun for 10 to 30 seconds before tumble drying. Items which should not be tumble dried Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains of synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles with a metal component, nylon socks/stockings. Garments made mostly from foam rubber or rubber-like materials must NOT be dried in the tumble dryer. Obviously, you must not dry garments in the machine which are unsuitable for tumble drying. Garments which have been treated with flammable liquids (benzine, alcohol, stain removal products) should not be dried in the tumble dryer on account of the risk of fire. Tumble drying beneficial Dry flat Getting the load size right An overloaded tumble dryer will cause creasing. Drying loads which are too small is uneconomical. Fluff The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced. This is perfectly normal, and does not mean that your tumble dryer is wearing out your clothes. When garments are worn and washed by hand or machine, fibres and fluff are released, but remain on the surface of the material. If dried outdoors on a line these fibres will be blown away by the wind. In a tumble dryer the fluff is collected in the filter and accumulates through the drying process. This is very significant to those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Shrinkage Depending on their quality, tricot fabrics in particular vary considerably in their tendency to shrink. We recommend that you bear possible shrinkage in mind when choosing the size of new tricot garments. -7- Program chart The programs can be divided into two types: automatic programs and timed programs. The automatic programs (A ­ D) switch off the tumble dryer when the load has been dried to the extent required. The timed programs are for special requirements or finishing drying individual items. [. . . ] Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service company authorised by the supplier. Note that electrical faults should always be rectified by a certified electrician.
