• 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
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
• Remove the laundry immediately after the pro-
gramme has finished.
• 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 large items such as sheets, we rec-
ommend you periodically stop the dryer to redis-
tribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:
• Articles contaminated with inflammable sub-
stances 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.
