Care Labels you may find on your laundry

normal drying (high temperature)

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items.

700 to 1000 g

Pillowcase

100 to 200 g

Tablecloth

400 to 500 g

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.

DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.

Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately.

Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished.

Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).

Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.

Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

Very delicate articles such as silk.

Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.
