GENERAL HINTS
• Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon
tights, bulky materials such as blankets, eiderdown, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any item containing rubber
foam or materials similar to foam rubber.
• Do not directly place undergarments such as bras and corsets that contain metal reinforcements, into your dryer.
Your dryer may be damaged if a metal part were to come loose from the garment. Place such items in a bag
designed for this purpose.
• Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other item such
as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
• Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch on something else. Tie all belts and aprons string to
prevent tangling.
• Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size and wetness. Save time and money and always
spin the load as dry as possible your washing machine.
• Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce drying time and save you money.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Do not place hand washed items that have not been
spun, into the dryer.
• To avoid 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.
• 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.
• Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture and thickness it is possible that not all items will be dried evenly. If
you experience uneven dryness on the Standard program please use the Extra Program but be mindful of the type
of fabric being dried to avoid over drying 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.
• For best results, sort the load according to fabric. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry (i.e. towels,
flannelette sheets, etc) than ones which dry quickly (i.e. cotton shirts and sheets).
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such as towels as lint will show on the dark clothes.
• Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items. Separate those articles prone to causing lint and those
prone to collecting lint, to minimise this problem. Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes
that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and permanent press garments.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, you may need to run another program, or allow the items to finish
drying naturally outside the dryer. This will be necessary particularly for multi-layered items (i.e. collars, pockets,
etc).
