•
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity
consumption and the shorter the drying time.
•
DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to
remove excess water.
•
Close poppers and zips and fasten any
buttons.
•
Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
•
Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
•
Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce
static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to
an article of laundry (using a safety pin).
•
Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
•
When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:
•
Articles contaminated with inflammable
substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents,
cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.
•
Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless
the item is labelled as suitable for tumble
drying.
•
Very delicate articles such as silk.
•
Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.
