General information on drying

Tumble drying

• Extract water well before drying if the washing symbol allows so
• Do not overfill the drying drum
• Only place articles which require the same drying time together in the drier. Cotton and synthetics for example have a different drying time and residual humidity
• Dimensionally- and heat-sensitive pieces should not be placed in a tumble dryer
• Always follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions

Natural drying

With the revised care labelling symbolisation, other symbols may appear in a square below the tumble symbol. For countries in which this is specified, information is therefore given about the habitual "natural drying methods" (e.g. line drying, drip drying, drying flat etc.).
