– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
a Do not use the +: Cupboard Dry Plus programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that
reduces the drying effect.

fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.

the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
