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 size

Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:
Natural fibres: 6kg max (13lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

!

DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in

reduced drying performance.

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:

Do

not

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like
materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC
rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects
that contain flammable substances (towels soiled
with hair spray).

Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)

). These can be cleaned with special

Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through
the dryer.
