Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-
ing required.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished

drying.

To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
If at the end of the programme the laundry is still
too damp, set the dial for a further period of drying
(remembering to take into account the cooling peri-
od).
