DRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar items,
and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels, and flannelette
sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-cotton
sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst
others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of your clothing and linen.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
how the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on the garment labels.
Only dry items in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the chance
of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items from occurring.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new. Colour
run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.
