Drying Advice
In addition to the advice for washing your clothes, you should also follow the guideli-
nes below when drying clothes.
Sort the load before drying
We recommend that you sort the laundry by the following methods:
By drying care symbols, which are display on the clothing labels:
●
Suitable for tumble drying
Tumble dry at high temperature
Tumble dry at low temperature only
DO NOT tumble dry
If the fabric does not have a care label, it should be assumed it is not suitable for
drying.
By size and thickness
●
Whenever the wash load is bigger than the drying capacity, separate the clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
By fabric type
●
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamide, as well as
for cotton/synthetic mixes.
Items to avoid when drying
We recommend that you DO NOT dry the following items in the washer dryer:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with
●
metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, trainers / sports
shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc, should not be tumble dried.
Do not dry articles that have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clo-
●
thes, as there is a danger of fire or explosion.
Foam rubber materials should not be placed in the dryer. In certain circumstances
●
e.g. when heated, these materials could spontaneously combust, setting fire to your
machine. Foam rubber, foam plastic and rubber-like materials are not suitable for
tumble drying.
Do not dry items that are dripping wet. It is advisable to spin dry garments before
●
the drying stage.
