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.

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).
