	Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at standard temperature

Fabric mark	Property
	Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at decreased temperature
	Not applicable to dry in the tumble dryer

Correctly prepare the laundry:

• close zips, button up duvet covers and attach loose ties or ribbons (e.g. ribbons of aprons) - laundry can tangle

• make sure the pockets are empty - remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc.).

  • cotton and linen with Cottons programmes

• synthetic and mixtures with Synthetic programmes
• separately the strong coloured textiles and the light coloured textiles - colours can bleed
• cotton jersey and knitwear only with the applicable programmes - items can shrink

Do not put more laundry than the maximum load which is 9kg.
