garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the
most commonly used symbols:

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.

shions, large bedcovers, etc.) that expand when dried and
hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.
