Be careful not to overdry
All fabrics contain a little natural
moisture even when ‘dry’, and this
natural moisture should not be lost if
the clothes are to remain soft and
fluffy. What’s more, clothes that are
subject to an overlong drying
programme tend to wrinkle, and
consequently need more ironing than
usual, which gives you back the
unnecessary extra work your
machine was designed to remove.
It is essential that the lint is
removed from the filter every time
the dryer is used.
Failure to do this will result in poor
drying performance and may lead to
mechanical or electrical breakdown.
minutes to dry

The time needed for drying clothes
varies according to the following
factors:
1. The amount of water which is left
in the clothes after washing.
2. The weight of the load. A smaller
load requires less time.
3. The type of fabric. More
absorbent materials will take longer
to dry.
4. Whether the clothes are to be
dried fully, or left slightly damp for
ironing. (If you wish to remove items
while they are still damp you may do
so at any time.)
As an approximate guide, the following table may assist you.
After Tumbling
Switch off the electricity at the wall
socket and remove plug.
To avoid unnecessary creasing, the
garments should be removed from
the dryer as soon as it stops.
All clothes lose lint as they wear.
When clothes are hung on a washing
line the lint is blown away by the
wind. In a tumble dryer it is collected
in the lint filter.
