Advice and tips before you tumble dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble drying. Materials that should not be tumble dried Have the clothes been spun? 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. Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both energy and drying time.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumble drying results. 1 Sort your fabrics Auto Normal and Auto Delicate These programs shut off the heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off the heat slightly later than Auto Delicate.
