Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Here are some tips that may help you before you
begin tumble-drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both
energy and drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is suitable
for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to
tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and
synthetic fibres. Garments will be softer and lighter
when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant
wear to fabrics. The lint that is trapped in the lint
filter consists of dust and fibre residues that form
when the items are used.
Materials that must not be
tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may
melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat,
and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• plastic foam.
• fibreglass material.
• wool because of the risk of felting.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry
after tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends
before opening the door and removing the
laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
If the door is opened during the program, the
program will be interrupted and will return to the
start. The clothes may be too damp or too dry
as a result.
