Sorting your laundry

Maximum load size

Typical load

1.Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying.

2.See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage.

3.It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. This saves you time and money.

WARNING:

CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING WET

4.Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see “Wash Care Labels” section).

Your dryer will hold a load of 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight of natural fabrics. if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 2kg (4.4lb) dry weight.

This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-dry without creasing.

WARNING:

DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR DRYER AS THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE.

To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to finish them off.
