not specify whether it can be dried with normal or low temperature.

If none of these symbols is found:
Dry cottons, as well as mixed fabrics, at normal temperature. Press the
HALF HEAT button when delicate cottons have to be dried.
It is advisable to take into consideration the care symbols on garment
labels when buying them.
