Page 4: Introduction
Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape better and require less ironing. Your AeroXL™ dryer has the benefit of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or can pump it directly into a drain. -

Page 17: Sorting And Loading
Sorting and loading When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of ■ ■ similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester- cotton sheets and shirts). - Page 18 Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic or rubber ■ ■ items in your AeroXL™ dryer, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do so. Never dry these items at high temperatures.
-
Page 19: Drying Rack
Sorting and loading Drying times Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads. ■ ■ Heavier items (towels, T-shirts, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items ■ ■ (synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts). Spin clothes at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type. -
Page 20: Drying Cycles

Page 22: Wrinkle Free
Drying cycle options Wrinkle Free If you wish to minimise wrinkling, select one of the WRINKLE FREE options. At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically and cool air will be circulated through the load to minimise wrinkling and creasing. This is particularly useful if you cannot remove the items immediately after the cycle ends. -
