Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at
1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save
both energy and drying time.
Laundry labels
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth,
and synthetic fibers. Garments will be softer
and lighter when tumbled than when hung
out to dry .
The tumble dryer does not cause any
significant wear to fabrics. The lint trapped in
the lint filter consists of dust and fiber
residues which gather when the items are
used.
Materials that should not be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is
not suitable for tumble drying. Certain
materials may melt or become a fire hazard if
exposed to heat and others can lose their
shape or shrink
Do not tumble dry
• materials labeled “Do not dry near heat”.
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• fiberglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the
risk of piling.
If the door is opened during the program, the
program will be interrupted and will return to
the start. The clothes may be too damp or too
dry as a result.
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil. Do not
dry anything that has ever had any type of oil
on it (including cooking oils). Items containing
foam, rubber, or plastic must be air dried.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or fire.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the dryer .
Do not dry anything that has ever had
anything flammable on it (even after
washing). Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, explosion, or fire.
