Sorting laundry

• 

Check the symbols on the care labels of the various

garments to verify whether the garments can be safely

tumble dried.

• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.

• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without

tightening them.

• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of

water possible.

 Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes

Do not overload the drum.

The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:

Natural fibres: maximum 

kg

Synthetic fibres: maximum 

kg

 Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced

drying performance.

Typical weights
 Note: 1 kg = 1000 g

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, large bedcovers, etc.) that expand when dried

and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.
