DRYING PROCESS

TIPS BEFORE DRYING

LAUNDRY SORTING
Sort the laundry according to:

• type,
• fabric thickness.

For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material.
CLOTHING

1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. Turn the pockets inside out.
3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
   • Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds will save energy and cut drying time.
   • If you decide to dry only one large item, we recommend drying it separately from smaller items of laundry
