(e.g. towels).

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

a page 7, Woollens finish programme (depending on model).

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.

a Do not use the Cupboard Dry extra programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that

reduces the drying effect.

– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of

fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed

programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a higher spin speeds minimise

the drying time and reduce energy consumption.

a Programme overview, page 7.
