Caring for Laundry
• The dryer must only be used for its intended purpose.
• Always observe the rules for drying garments. If in doubt, do NOT tumble
dry.
• Take particular care that woolen articles are NOT dried in a tumble dryer
unless they are labelled ‘Superwash’, ‘Machine Washable’ or have the ‘May
be tumble dried’ symbol. If in any doubt, do not dry wool in the machine.
Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible,
i.e. it will not stretch back to its original size and shape.
• Do not dry water-proof sheets or clothing. These may cause dryer failure,
which could lead to injury, or damage to the laundry or to the dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles,
rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows tted with foam rubber
pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specied by the
fabric softener instructions.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not attempt to dry dripping wet articles.
• Do not overload the dryer with laundry. Drying results may be
unsatisfactory.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it.
This could damage your laundry.
• Always check and remove objects such as nails, pins, coins, clips, etc.
Cigarette lighters, in particular, present a hazard that can be avoided by
this process. They could damage your laundry or the dryer.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other
ammable, or explosive substances as they give o vapours that could
ignite or explode.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
