When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens, simply put them through a short drying cycle. Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle, remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10 minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments.

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.

Items not suitable for tumble drying:

•Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects containing inflammable substances (used towels containing hairspray).

•Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).

•Items which have been previously dry cleaned.

•Items marked with the ITLC symbol (“Special garments”)

, which may be washed using special household products. Follow instructions carefully.

•Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.

Special items

Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Avoid drying for long periods.

Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

Starched garments: do not dry together with non- starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its purpose.
