Preparing the drying cycle
Preparing your garments for drying
o For optimum drying performance, sort the laundry according to
fabric type, drying programme and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label.
o Before drying, thoroughly spin the laundry in a washing machine
if possible to reduce the drying time and save energy.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are
empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o Zips should be closed, duvet covers and
pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should
be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting
damaged during the drying cycle.
o Do not dry the clothes for longer than necessary to avoid creases
or shrinkage.
o DO NOT dry items containing rubber or similar elastic materials,
raincoats, bicycle covers or feather products.
o DO NOT dry clothes which have been dry-cleaned.
o In order to avoid danger of fire caused by excessive drying, DO
NOT use the appliance to dry items such as cushions and quilts
as these items accumulate heat.
o Ensure the lint filter and container are emptied and cleaned after
each use to avoid the extension of drying time and energy use.
