When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads
●
●
of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels
and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics,
polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items
becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of
your clothing and linen.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the
●
●
chance of wrinkles, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items from occurring.
Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened where possible and turned inside out.
●
●
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and how
●
●
the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Only dry
items in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new.
●
●
Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.

COMMENTS
Towels produce a lot of lint and are
best dried on their own.
Ensure duvet/doona cover openings
are buttoned/domed before placing in
the dryer.
Only dry one bulky item at a time and
place a few knotted towels into the
dryer at the same time to ensure the
bulky item moves around evenly.
Wrinkle Free is automatically selected
to help minimise creasing once the
drying cycle has finished.
For items that could be damaged if they
are tumbled, eg woollens. Ensure the
drying rack has been correctly fitted.
You can further reduce the dryness
level to damp or use the drying rack
for very delicate items.
Turn jeans inside out to help maintain
their appearance. Dry separately from
other items.
Check on the item regularly throughout
the drying cycle. Ensure the rack has
been correctly fitted.
Check on the item regularly throughout
the drying cycle. Ensure the rack has
