12. Hints and Tips
12.1 Preparing the Laundry
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether. Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient. To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
- Close the zips.
- Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
- Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a program.
- Remove all items from pockets.
- Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards.
- Always set the program suitable for the type of laundry.
- Do not put light and dark colours together.
- Use suitable program for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
- Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programs chapter or shown on the display.
- Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items.
- Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.
- Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.
