Dryer Loading Suggestions - Fisher & Paykel 11 Series User Manual

Sorting
Sort items into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to
z
dry. This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are
still damp.
Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new.
z
Colour run could be an issue, especially if using
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
z
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These can damage your dryer and clothes.
Items of clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out to prevent damage to
z
the print.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
z
how the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
Loading
Loading items correctly will help to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and ensure the load
z
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.

Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.

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.
