Laundry
Sorting your laundry
●
Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure
that the articles can be tumble dried.
●
Sort laundry by fabric type.
●
Empty pockets and check buttons.
●
Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings.
●
Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.
!
Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.
Maximum load size
Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:
Natural fibres: 8kg max (18lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)
!
DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in
reduced drying performance.
Drying times
The table (
see below
) presents APPROXIMATE drying
times in Minutes. Weights refer to dry garments.
Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:
●
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
●
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but
different textures and thicknesses may not have
the same drying time.
●
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads
may take longer to dry.
●
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them
to be completely dry.
●
Heat setting.
●
Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to
dry your clothes.
●
Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with
care. We suggest that you remove these items
several times, shake them out, and return them to
the dryer until finished.
!
Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which
keeps them soft and fluffy.

Wash Care Labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when
tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols
are the most common:
May be tumble dried
Do
not

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Note:
At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together.
If this is the case, simply give the damp cotton items an additional short period of drying.
