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)

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

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)

●Items which have been dry cleaned

●Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items). These can be cleaned with special

at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
