See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring `special attention' (see"Wash Care Labels" section). Maximum load size Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics. if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6. 6lb) dry weight.
