HINTS & TIPS ON DRYING
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check
the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble
drying.
Care labels you may find on your laundry
Do not overload the appliance

laundry items:

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed
the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the
drying time.
• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the
article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.
• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cottons/linens,
and dry separately.
• Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has
finished or select the Anti-crease option.
• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry
(using a safety pin).
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
• When drying items such as sheets, we recommend you
periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:
• Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g.
petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.
• Woollen and synthetic wool mixtures unless the item is
labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
• Very delicate articles such as silk
• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping
bags.
