Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various

garments to verify whether the garments can be safely
tumble dried.

• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without

tightening them.

• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of

water possible.



Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes
Do not overload the drum.
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:
Natural fibres: maximum

7 kg

Synthetic fibres: maximum

3 kg



Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced

drying performance.

Typical weights
Note: 1 kg = 1000 g

When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the
latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens, simply put them through a short drying cycle.
Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle,
remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10
minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments.

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing
garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the
most commonly used symbols:

jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects
containing inflammable substances (used towels
