Page 18: Sorting And Loading
SORTING AND LOADING When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer. ● ● Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely 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). - Page 19 SORTING AND LOADING Before you load Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. ● ● Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ ● ● doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.

Try to dry medium to large loads. ● ● Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items ● ● (synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
