There is no indication of which cycle that might be on the instructions.

I’ve got cotton, synthetic, jeans, gentle care and baby setting to choose from.

It’s for a cotton duvet cover.

I'd use the cotton setting. Anything else won't dry properly

It won’t shrink to the size of a hankie 😳? I’m sure they stick low temp on things rather than test the fabric.

I use the synthetic setting for all clothes, takes a bit longer but is cooler. I interpret that setting as low (or the symbol with 1 dot).

It would be useful if they stuck the same symbols on the drier as the care label wouldn’t it?.

Not for a cotton duvet cover. I think anything less will leave it damp. I have the same issue with my washer/dryer, super swanky but a little too swanky! My mums 20 year old dryer dries so much better and quicker...although probably not so good for the environment 😂
