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 kg

Synthetic fibres: maximum kg
! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced

drying performance.

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:

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on

the following:

• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle:

towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture

and thickness may have different drying times.

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take

longer to dry.

• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed

from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require

complete drying can be left longer.

• Heat setting.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the

room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the

drying process. We suggest removing these items and

replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken

out: repeat this procedure several times during the course

of the drying cycle.

! Do not over-dry items.

All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep

them soft and fluffy.
