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: 7kg max (15lb)
