SORTING AND LOADING
Drying times
●
●
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
●
●
Heavier items (towels and flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
●
●
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
Drying bulky items
●
●
It is important that you check the care label of any item carefully, to ensure it is suitable
for tumble drying, before placing it into the dryer.
●
●
Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying, pause the dryer and
reposition the item if necessary.
●
●
Do not overload the dryer. Ensure there is enough space for the dry item to tumble.

Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers and
collectors separately.
