Drying special items
There are some articles that need to be dried in a special way. Before you dry any item that is
not described in AeroCare’s cycles (refer to pages 56 to 60), refer to the table below. Always
remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions (please read the care label of the item).
Item
Special instructions
Pillows
Check the care label – can the pillow be dried in the dryer?
Do not dry foam rubber pillows.
Check for weak seams where feathers or fillings could escape.
Dry only one average-sized pillow at a time.
Select the BULKY cycle.
Check the pillow at regular intervals.
Note: It is important to ensure the pillow is completely dry to
prevent mildew from forming.
Blankets/throws
Check the care label – can the blanket be dried in the dryer?
Include 4 – 5 medium sized towels along with the blanket for
cushioning. This will help stop shrinkage from over-tumbling.
If you are drying more than one blanket, ensure the blankets do
not fill more than half of the dryer, otherwise there will not be
enough space for them to tumble.
Select the BULKY cycle.
On completion, remove the blanket, shake and, if needed,
stretch the blanket back to its original shape.
Note: It is important to ensure the blanket is completely dry to
prevent mildew from forming.
Plastic, foam rubber, and
rubber-backed products
Do not dry products containing foam rubber, plastic or rubber
on any cycle other than AIR DRY.
Drying these types of garments on any cycle other than AIR DRY
is a fire hazard.
Jackets
Check the care label – can the jacket be dried in the dryer?
Check that all zippers and/or buttons are fastened.
Select the BULKY cycle.
