has finished drying.
• If individual items are still damp
after drying, set a brief post-drying
time, but at least 30 minutes. This
will be necessary particularly for
multilayered items (e.g. collars,
pockets, etc.).
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie
any belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers
and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of
aprons). Turn items with double-lay-
ered fabrics inside out (e.g. with
cotton lined anoraks, the cotton
layer should be outermost). These
fabrics will then dry better.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen:
drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Synthetics:
drum no more than half
full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens:

Try to load to the maximum capacity of
the machine as small loads are uneco-
nomical.
