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,
t-shirts 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.
Look for a care label on your clothes as this will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried.
●
●
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.
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to
●
●
prevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened and
where possible, turned inside out.

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 machine 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.
You can further reduce the
dryness level to damp or use
Rack Dry 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.
