Laundry

Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:

Amount of water retained in clothes after spin 
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.

Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but 
different textures and thicknesses may not have 
the same drying time.

Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads 
may take longer to dry.

Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your 
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit 
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them 
to be completely dry.

Heat setting.

Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is  
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to 
dry your clothes.

Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with 
care. We suggest that you remove these items 
several times, shake them out, and return them to 
the dryer until finished.

!

Do not over-dry your clothes.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which
keeps them soft and fluffy.

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads:

acrylic items (Acilan,

Courtelle, Orion, Dralon)

must be dried

with special

care on LOW heat setting.  Avoid drying for a long
period of time.  

Pleated or creased garments:

read the manufacturer’s

drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles:

do not dry these with non-starched

items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is
removed from the load as possible before placing it in
the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become
powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats
the purpose of starch.
