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:

Natural fibres: 9 kg max (19,8 lb)

Synthetic fibres: 3 kg max (6.6 lb)

!Do not overload the dryer as this could result in reduced drying performance.

Wash care labels

GB

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 (pillows, cushions and large bedspreads. Sleeping bags and duvets can be dried using the Duvet programmes as described on page 8). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.
