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 7 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 Cotton Other 150 g 100 g Dress Cotton 500 g Other 350 g Jeans 700 g 10 Nappie 1,000 g Shirt Cotton Other 300 g 200 g T-shirt 125 g Household linen Duvet cover Cotton 1,500 g (double bed) Other 1,000 g Large tablecloth 700 g Small tablecloth 250 g Tea cloth 100 g Bath towel 700 g Hand towel 350 g Double bed 500 g sheet 350 g Single bed sheet 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.
