Instructions (Cont.)
Preparing the drying load
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Easy care items such as
shirts should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when
you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• As the dryer heat may permanently set stains, check and ensure your washing is
clean and free of stains.
• Sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program. Separate dark and light
coloured items as you would do when washing. Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured, fluffy items such as towels as they could attract fluff.
• Ensure that the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign objects
(such as lighters, hair pins, coins) inside pockets.
• Turn items with zippers inside out, close zippers, press studs, hooks and eyelets,
fasten buckles and tie fabric belts and apron strings. This will also help reduce impact
noise when the items hit against the turning drum.
• Place small, delicate items in a mesh bag, but do not add too many to one bag. (Do
not dry underwire bras in a clothes dryer.)
• Close pillowcases and quilt covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items
getting tangled inside them.
• To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer, which results in uneven drying, shake
items out thoroughly before placing them into the dryer one at a time.
• When closing the dryer door, ensure that items are not jammed in the door.
Maximum loads
• The recommended maximum drying loads are indicated in the programs table on the
next page. As a general rule:
– cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
– synthetics: drum no more than half full
– delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than quarter full.
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.
•
CAUTION: Do not overload the dryer: the maximum amount of dry textile material that
can be dried in one load is 8kg (see Fig. 8 below for some reference weights).
