•
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
700 to 1000 g

redistribute the load.
400 to 500 g

700 to 1000 g
