It is best to check the item halfway though the cycle to ensure
even drying.
If the item contains feathers add a heavy item (e.g a wet towel
tied in a knot) to the load to help fluff the comforter.
Ensure the load does not sit higher than the top of the lint
bucket before starting the cycle.
Place the shoes on the drying rack (refer to page 24).

damp set the dryer for a further 20 minutes.
Ensure the dry-cleaning product is recommended for use in a
domestic dryer.
Follow the manufacturers instructions for how to prepare the
load.
