Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (KATOEN) pogramme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (SYNTHETISCH) programme
group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
Drying in the tumble
dryer possible in prin-
ciple
Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as
being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for
tumble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOL) programme. Before the
drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry
woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with respect to material, colour
and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
Special notes about ProSteam
• The following textiles cannot be treated using a ProSteam programme:
leather, textiles with large metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rusting metal
parts, oilskins or wax cotton garments.
• To smooth or freshen laundry with a ProSteam programme, sort laundry by size, weight,
material and colour.
Only smooth textiles together that are similar in terms of size, weight, material and
colour.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Colours
may fade (check colour fastness of fabric when damp in an inconspicuous area).
• Do not use dry cleaning sets in combination with ProSteam programmes.
