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.
●
●
Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up to
automatically drain).
Loading
●
●
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to ensure
the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is plenty of room for the garments to tumble
freely while drying.
Hint: load the dryer in terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than
when they are wet. The general rule is that one wash load equals one dryer load. Do not
overload your dryer, as it may damage your dryer and clothes.
●
●
It is a good idea to dry 'permanent press' type garments (eg business shirts) together
on a separate cycle with the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and
the need for ironing.
To reduce tangling
●
●
Load items individually.
●
●
Dry sheets and duvet/doona covers on the 'Sheets' cycle. Ensure duvet/doona covers
are fastened before placing in the dryer.
●
●
Only dry bedding loads up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer.
●
●
If you are experiencing a lot of tangling, try adding a dry, knotted towel to the load.
To reduce creasing
●
●
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly.
●
●
Launder permanent press garments separately, eg business shirts.
●
●
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
●
●
Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
IMPORTANT!
●
●
Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity (eight kilograms of dry clothes).
●
●
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause an
electrical hazard.
●
●
Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic
or rubber items in your dryer, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do
so. Never dry these items at high temperatures.
●
●
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
