SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
● ●
We recommend sorting 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 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.
● ●
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out
to prevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened
and where possible, turned inside out.
