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: 9kg max (20lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in

reduced drying performance.

damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. 
If this happens simply give them an additional short
period of drying.

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

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like 
materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC 
rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects 
that contain flammable substances (towels soiled 
with hair spray).

Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)

Items which have been dry cleaned

Items with the ITCL Code       (

see Special 

clothing items

). These can be cleaned with special 

at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions 
carefully.

Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, 
cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand 
when drying and would prevent airflow through 
the dryer.
