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.
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 con-
taining 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 pro-
ducts. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air
circulation inside the tumble dryer.
Special items
Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle,
Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat.
Avoid drying for long periods.
Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions
supplied by the manufacturer.
Starched garments: do not dry together with non-starched
items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution pos-
sible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry:
starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its
purpose.
