Care symbols

Ensure articles to be dried are suitable for tumble drying. If they are

one of the following symbols should be present on the care label:

This fabric can be tumble dried. The fabric manufacturer does not stip-

ulate if the piece of laundry should be dried on a normal or gentle pro-

gram.

Normal drying

Drying with special care

Do not tumble dry

If you do not find any of these care symbols:

Dry whites and coloureds as well as mixed fabrics at normal tempera-

ture.

•Wool

Do not dry any woollen items in the dryer.

As a follow-up treatment for woollen fabrics in quantities up to 1 kg

select the WOOL (WOLLPFLEGE) programme.

• Cotton jersey and hosiery have a tendency to shrink! Do not dry these

fabrics excessively with the program EXTRADRY (EXTRATROCKEN).

• New coloured textiles

To avoid the possibility of dye transference do not dry new coloured

textiles together with light-coloured laundry.

Washing is always dried at a low temperature in your ÖKO-LAVATHERM

WP, making it gentle on your washing. Any item of washing suitable for

drying in a dryer may be dried in your tumble dryer without reserva-

tion.
