Hotpoint TS13, User Handbook Manual

Page: 9 / 20

NOTE: The dryer is only intended
for drying articles which have
been well washed in water and
detergent and have been well
rinsed and spun.
1. It is best to sort everything into
fabric groups.
It is very important to follow carefully
each garment manufacturer’s
washing and drying instructions, as
given on the Care Label attached to
the garment.
The same grouping applies to
washing machines, so you will
probably already have done this
when preparing your wash.
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks
and eyes are fastened, and belts,
strings etc. are tied loosely in bows.
Once again, you will normally have
already done this at the washing
stage.
3. It is important to extract as much
water as possible from each item
before loading. This will save you
time and money.
Do not overspin easy-care fabrics in
your automatic washing machine or
spin dryer. These fabrics dry quickly
in a tumble dryer and many of them
do not need ironing at all if they are
dried in small loads.
Fabric conditioner will give even
more softness to all fabrics and is
invaluable for controlling the static
electricity which causes easy-care
fabrics to cling and attract dirt.
WARNING – CLOTHES SHOULD
NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING
WET.
Sorting your laundry
4. Make sure, by referring to the
section on page 11, that items to be
dried are suitable for tumble drying,
or are not of the type requiring
‘special attention’ (see pages 11 &
12).
Articles that contain safety pins, hair
grips, metal fastenings or stiffening
(eg, bra wires) that may become
detached should not be placed in
laundry appliances. If they tumble
free they could they could interfere
with mechanical or electrical parts of
your washer or dryer.
Maximum Load Size
Maximum loads are:
Cottons 3 kg (6 1 /
2
Ib.)
Synthetics and mixtures
1kg (2
1 /
4
1b.) for minimum creasing
2kg (4 1 /
2
1b.) if creasing
unimportant
Synthetic fibres require more space
to tumble dry without creasing
therefore the maximum load is
reduced compared to that of cottons.
