Sorting your laundry
Maximum Dry Load Size
Typical Load
The same care should be taken for Drying fabrics as when Washing, e.g. split fabric groups, close all zips and hooks, belts and strings should be tied in loose bow.
It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. This reduces the drying time, energy consumption and the running cost.
Cotton fabrics | max. 6 | Kg (13.2 lb) |
Synthetics, eg Polyester, polycotton | max. 3 | Kg (6.6 lb) |
Acrylics | max. 2 | Kg (4.4 lb) |
Note:
If cotton/terry towelling items are grouped with synthetic fabrics they could remain damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this occurs, simply replace cottons for a short period of drying to finish off.
The table below shows the approximate weight of everyday items.
