Water container empty the water container after each drying cycle. [. . . ] Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them. Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible. 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. Tumble dry low heat. EN 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 8 kg Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced drying performance. Typical weights Note: 1 kg = 1000 g Garments Blouse Dress Jeans 10 Nappie Shirt T-shirt Household linen Duvet cover (double bed) Large tablecloth Small tablecloth Tea cloth Bath towel Hand towel Double bed sheet Single bed sheet Cotton Other 1, 500 g 1, 000 g 700 g 250 g 100 g 700 g 350 g 500 g 350 g Cotton Other Cotton Other Cotton Other 150 100 500 350 g g g g Items not suitable for tumble drying: Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects containing inflammable substances (used towels containing hairspray). Glass fibres (certain types of draperies). Items which have been previously dry cleaned. Items marked with the ITLC symbol (Special garments) , which may be washed using special household products. Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedcovers, etc. ) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer. 700 g 1, 000 g 300 g 200 g 125 g When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens, simply put them through a short drying cycle. Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle, remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10 minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments. 11 EN Special items Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Starched garments: do not dry together with nonstarched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp this defeats its purpose. 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. 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. 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. 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.
