– 'c= tumble-dry at low heat setting (Gentle Dryc8).
The following textiles should not be tumble-dried:
– ) = do not tumble-dry care symbol.
– Woollens or items containing wool. Risk of shrinking!
– Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtain). Risk of creasing!
– Items containing foam rubber or similar material.
– Items which have been treated with flammable solvents, such as stain
removers, petrol, paint thinners. Explosion hazard!
– Items still containing hair lacquer or similar substances.
Dangerous vapours!
Do not exceed the maximum drying load. aPage 7
– Empty pockets.
– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
– Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.
– Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.
– Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
– Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.
– Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.
– Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun using the appropriate spin speed.
– Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
– In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
ofâdrying required.
– Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
isâevenly distributed.
– To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile
items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).

Important information Washing drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
– Empty pockets.
– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
– Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.
– Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.
– Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
– Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.
– Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.
– Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun using the appropriate spin speed.
– Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
– In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
ofâdrying required.
– Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
isâevenly distributed.

items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
