Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of
z
duvet/doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your
dryer and your clothes.
Clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out to prevent damage to the print.
z
Check the lint and condenser filters are clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is
z
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. Load the dryer in terms of
z
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.
z
Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
z
Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the
z
the
WRINKLE FREE
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
z
Drying times
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
z
Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
z
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
z
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying. Pause the dryer and reposition
z
the item if necessary.
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers and
collectors separately.
