Sorting your laundry

1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before
washing and drying.
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and
belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have
done this for each item before the washing stage.
3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each
item before drying. This saves you time and money.
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED
DRIPPING WET
4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble
drying, or are not of a type requiring 'special attention' (see"Wash
Care Labels" section).
Maximum
Your dryer will hold a load of 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.
load size
if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the
maximum load should not exceed 2kg (4.4lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to
tumble-dry without creasing.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN
REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE
HAZARD.
Typical load
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some
everyday washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic
fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to
finish them off.

Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no
trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be
dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving
full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed
carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Or:
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic
film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles
which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.
towels contaminated with hair lacquer
• Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
• Items which have been dry cleaned
• Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do
in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the
woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
• Garments with the ITCL Code (see 'Items Requiring Special
Attention').
Do not tumble dry.
• Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY
WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING
PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD.
