authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities, the national
authorities responsible for transportation and the national authorities for buildings.
7 Marking and instructions
Add the following subclause:
7.1 Addition:
The appliance shall be marked with symbol 0790 of IS0 7000 or with the substance of the
following:

The instructions shall include the substance of the following:
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
– Do not dry soiled items in the tumble dryer unless they have been washed.
– Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
