Clothes preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for

drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each

item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are

empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the

drum to make sure that they don’t get tangled.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it must be

assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.

●By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity,

separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from

thin underwear).

●By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester

or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with

PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as

sleeping bags, etc.

●Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.

NEVER

●Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and

electricity.

●Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may
