Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce
drying time and save you money.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
Easy-care items eg shirt, should be briefly
pre-spun before drying (depending on tnis
crease resistance approximately 30 second).
Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture
and thickness it is possible that not all items
will be dried evenly. It you experience uneven
dryness on Cupboard program please use
either Extra Dry or Timer Program but be
mindful of the type of fabric being dried to
avoid overdrying certain types of fabric.
Always follow drying instructions attached to
the items intended to be dried in a clothes
dryer.
Drying time will also be effected by voltage
fluctuations,room temperature and humidity.
Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or
humid day.
To avoid static charge when drying is complet-
ed, use either a fabric softener when you are
washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has
finished drying.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing
and saves energy.
Clothes or towels containing sand or grit
should be washed first.
For best results, sort the load according to
fabric. Such as heavy items which may take
longer to dry, eg. towels, flannelette sheets,
etc. than ones which dry quickly, eg. poly/cot-
ton shirts and and sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
items such as towels as lint will show on the
dark clothes.
Note : Some fabrics will collect lint from other
clothes and items. Separate the lint “gives”
and the lint “collectors” to minimise this
problem.
Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies,
chenille. Clothes that collect lint include
corduroy, synthetics and permanent press
garments.
If individule items are still damp after drying, set
a 30 minutes post drying time. This wil be
necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg.
collars, pockets, etc).

of some common laundry items.
