GarmentCare Guide 
Understanding Do Not Tumble Dry
A prohibition on tumble drying concerns the method as well as heat. Choosing a cooler program is not automatically the same as following a natural-drying instruction. Check whether the garment needs to be laid flat, hung, or dried another way, and plan that space before washing rather than discovering the restriction when the item is already wet.
A method and a setting
Tumble drying describes use of a clothes dryer, while the accompanying care marks indicate the permitted heat or cycle. Maytag's guide explains the difference between dryer settings and natural drying. A low-temperature option is useful only when the care label allows the garment to enter the dryer.
Respect the full instruction
A crossed-out tumble-dry symbol calls for another drying method rather than a guess at a sufficiently cool cycle. Consider the fabric and the manufacturer's directions together. Sorting laundry for washing does not automatically settle drying needs, so separate items again if one garment requires flat drying while the others can safely tumble.
