Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer
● ●
dryer.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
● ●
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
dryer and your clothes.
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag if performing a wash only
● ●
cycle. If performing a continuous wash and dry cycle or an individual dry cycle it is
recommended not to use a mesh bag to ensure good drying performance.
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer dryer as they
● ●
can cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Loading
It is more efficient to wash larger loads, so try to collect enough items to loosely fill the
● ●
drum when the items are dry.
If performing a continuous wash and dry cycle or an individual dry cycle please take
● ●
note of the dryer capacity to ensure the appropriate dryness level is reached. Note: the
dryer capacity is less than the wash capacity.
Before performing a continuous wash and dry cycle or an individual dry cycle, garments
● ●
should be fluffed up and loaded evenly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensure the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is plenty of room for the garments to
tumble freely while drying.
It is a good idea to wash and dry 'permanent press' types garments (eg business shirts)
● ●
together on a separate cycle with the 'Wrinkle Free' option on. This will help reduce
wrinkling and the need for ironing.
If you run a wash cycle then manually want to select a drying cycle, fluff up the items in
● ●
the machine before starting a drying cycle.
Hint: For a drying cycle, load the washer dryer in terms of the space the garments take
● ●
up when dry, rather than wet. Do not overload a drying cycle as it may damage your
washer dryer and clothes.
To reduce tangling
Load items individually when performing a drying cycle.
● ●
Only dry bedding loads of up to a maximum of 5kg or 4kg in the dryer (depending on
● ●
the model).
To reduce creasing
If performing a continuous wash and dry cycle remove items from the dryer as soon as
● ●
the drying cycle is completed.
If the items are going to be left in the machine after any cycle, select 'Wrinkle Free' to
● ●
help reduce creasing.
Shake clothes out after a wash cycle and before performing a dry cycle and load
● ●
individually to help items dry evenly.
Launder permanent press garments separately, eg business shirts.
● ●
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
● ●
Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
