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.
Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up
●
●
to drain automatically).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensure the load is dried evenly.
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. (Hint: load the dryer in
●
●
terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet).
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
●
●
Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
●
●
Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the 'Easy Iron' cycle with
●
●
the 'Wrinkle Free' option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need for ironing.
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
●
●
IMPORTANT!
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause
●
●
an electrical hazard.
Do not place an item in your dryer unless the care label specifically states it is safe
●
●
to do so.
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
●
●
disintegrate during drying.
Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity (eight or nine kilograms of dry
●
●
clothes, depending on the model).
Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical,
●
●
plastic or rubber items in your dryer.
