Sorting your laundry
• Check symbols on clothing labels to
make sure that the articles can be tumble dried
• Sort laundry by fabric type.
• Empty pockets and check buttons.
• Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings
• Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.
! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer
Maximum load
Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be
damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics
together. If this happens simply give them an
additional short period of drying.
Wash care labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially
when tumble drying for the first time. The following
symbols are the most common:
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry at high heat setting.
Tumble dry at low heat setting.
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:
• Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials,
or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear);
any other flammable objects, or objects that contain
flammable substances (towels soiled with
hairspray).
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items that have been Dry Cleaned.
• Items with the ITLC code (“Special clothing items”)
. These can be cleaned with special at-home
dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, large bedspreads, etc.). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the
dryer.
