Otherwise the compressor could be damaged. 1. In order to remove any residues which may have been produced during production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or carry out a brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths in the machine. Sorting and preparing laundry Sorting laundry · Sorting by fabric type: ­ Cotton/linen for programmes in the COTTON programme group. ­ Mixed fibres and synthetics for programmes in the EASY CARES programme group. · Sorting by care label. The care labels mean: n Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle m Dry at normal temperature l Dry at reduced temperature k Drying in the tumble dryer not possible · 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 DRY programme. Items may shrink! · Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL 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 repect to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately. Preparing laundry · To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons). · Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc). · Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost).
