SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads
of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (egtowels
and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (egsynthetics,
polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items
becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of
your clothing and linen.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the
chance of wrinkles and of dye transfer from coloured items to white items.
Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened where possible and turned inside out.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and how
the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Only dry
items in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new.
Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.
