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 con- taining 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 pro- ducts. Follow instructions carefully.
•Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.
