Do you want to use your tumble dryer efficiently and safely while being gentle on your laundry? Here are some valuable tips to help you extend the life of your appliance and dry your clothes optimally without compromising their durability.

You should only put clothes suitable for tumble drying in the dryer. These include:

✅ Cotton : Ideal for towels, bed linen and cotton clothing.

✅ Synthetic fabrics : Sportswear and synthetic shirts are often suitable.

✅ Jeans : These can be tumble dried, but preferably at a low temperature.

✅ Towels : All types of towels are suitable for the dryer.

✅ Underwear : Cotton or synthetic underwear can be dried without any problems.

✅Down comforters and pillows : These should even be tumble dried to keep the down fluffy.

There are some textiles that you should not put in the tumble dryer:

❎ Delicate fabrics : Silk, wool (except with special programs), cashmere and viscose are sensitive to heat.

❎ Leather or imitation leather : These materials can be damaged by the heat.

❎ Waterproof textiles : These should not be tumble dried, as the water-repellent coating could be affected.

❎ Shoes : As a rule, shoes should not be dried in the dryer unless there are special programs or devices.

❎ Items made of rubber or foam rubber : These can melt or deform and pose a fire hazard.

Preparing the laundry:
Empty pockets: Remove all items from the pockets, especially lighters and matches.
Close zippers: Close zippers and buttons to prevent damage.

Sorting:
Sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program.

Loading the dryer:
Spin-spun laundry: Use only spin-spun laundry (at least 800 rpm). Do not overload the drum: The maximum load must not be exceeded to avoid uneven drying and creasing.

Program selection:
Choose the appropriate program: Select the program according to the type of fabric (e.g., cotton, synthetics).
Delicate programs: Use delicate programs for sensitive fabrics or knitted textiles.

Maintenance and care:
Clean the lint filter: Clean the lint filter after each use.
Empty the condensate container: Empty the condensate container regularly.
