Solution
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few
extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.
If the load is very small and you are using
Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic control
cannot properly sense the dryness of the load
and may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying
programmes or add some extra wet clothes to
the load.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending
on the type of heat used (electric), the size
of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of
the clothes, and lint filter. Even an unbalanced
load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer
to dry.
• When washing laundry that is to be dried in
the appliance, use the correct amount of fabric
softener as recommended by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil
from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean
clothes in the same or later loads.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were
not removed during the washing process. Make
sure that clothes are being completely cleaned
or rinsed according to the instructions for your
washing machine and detergent. Some difficult
soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to
wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time.
• Use the Anti crease option.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult
and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics
will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics
can be washed but will shrink when dried in the
appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter before every
cycle. With the lint removed, hold the lint filter
up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it
looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With
some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it
may be necessary to clean the lint filter during
the cycle.
