Sorting laundry

• 

Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-

ments 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 

kg

Synthetic fibres: maximum 

kg

!

 Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced 

drying performance.

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.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on 

the following:

•  Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: 

towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

•  Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture 

and thickness may have different drying times.

•  Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take 

longer to dry. 

•  Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed 

from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require 

complete drying can be left longer.

•  Heat setting. 

•  Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the 

room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

•  Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the 

drying process. We suggest removing these items and 

replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken 

out: repeat this procedure several times during the course 

of the drying cycle.

!

 Do not over-dry items.

All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep 

them soft and fluffy.

The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard 

dry programmes.

The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you 

to select the most suitable timed option.

The weight refers to dry items.
