Garment care

Wash cycle for dark colours made of cotton, polyester, blends, for example. Select an appropriate washing programme.

Easy-care items, for example, made of modal, viscose or synthetic fibres (polyacrylic, polyester and polyamide). Reduce the quantity of laundry (the drum should not be more than half full). Select an appropriate washing programme. Avoid spinning or do spin for short periods only to minimise the risk of creasing.

Items made of machine-washable wool, for example. This wash cycle has a particularly gentle mechanical action. Reduce the quantity of laundry substantially (the drum should be not more than one-third full.) Select an appropriate washing programme (e.g. delicates, wool).

Water temperature max. 40°C, depending on the item. First dissolve a mild detergent/wool detergent in plenty of water. Allow the textiles to float in the solution and agitate carefully. Do not rub, pull or wring out. Then rinse the textiles well, press the superfluous water out carefully and pull the items into shape. Quickly treat colour and sensitive wash items and do not leave them in a wet condition.

Items with this label should not be washed. They may also be sensitive to any type of wet treatment, or due to their size, they are not suited for treatment in a household washing machine.

Chlorine and oxygen bleaches permitted.

The triangle with two oblique lines indicates that oxygen bleach (contained in universal detergents) is permitted, but not chlorine bleach.

The triangle with a diagonal cross indicates that bleaching is not allowed. Use only bleach-free detergent.

Do not spin, dry flat.

Drying in a tumble dryer is possible under normal load without restrictions.

Caution is appropriate when tumble drying. Select a gentle programme with reduced action (temperature, duration of treatment).

Item not suitable for tumble drying.

Corresponding to the "cotton/linen" iron temperature setting: iron whilst damp, moisten if necessary. Shiny or pressure-sensitive pieces should be ironed with press cloth or ironed inside out. A steam iron may be used.

Corresponding to the "wool/silk/polyester/viscose" setting: iron under a moderately moist press cloth. A steam iron may be used. Avoid heavy pressure. Do not pull out of shape.

Corresponding to the "polyacrylic, polyamide (nylon), acetate" iron temperature setting: shiny or pressure-sensitive pieces should be ironed with press cloth or ironed inside out. Caution when using steam irons (work without steam if possible). Do not pull out of shape.

Irreversible changes must be expected if an iron is used.
