are the most common:

Do not tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like
●

that contain flammable substances (towels soiled
with hair spray).
Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)
●

●

the dryer.
