    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 SORTiNG ANd LOAdiNG before you load Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. ● ● Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ ● ● doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
  • Page 19 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.

You can vary the options (eg ‘Dryness Level’, ‘Dry Temp’) to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
  • Page 22 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.

Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours.
