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.

●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.

Drying times

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.

The table (see below) presents APPROXIMATE drying times in Hours : Minutes, as you see them on the display, the times are also shown in Minutes only for reference.

The times given are for Cupboard Dry Automatic programmes.
