Guide to Drying Times

Please note that the Drying Times stated below and on the appliance control panel are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:

Moisture content Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning. The suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.

The type of fabric Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics, such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.

The quantity of clothes to be dried

How dry you want the clothes

Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.

As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until they are fully dry.

The heat setting you have selected

The temperature of the room

Bulky items

The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.

If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take longer to dry than if the room is warm.

Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care, and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake them and return them to the dryer.

THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING’

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. Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more ironing than usual giving you extra work that the dryer was designed to remove.
