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 8 kg
Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 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, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air
circulation inside the tumble dryer.
Special items
Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle,
Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat.
Avoid drying for long periods.
Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions
supplied by the manufacturer.
Starched garments: do not dry together with non-
starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch
solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do
not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp
this defeats its purpose.
