Items requiring special attention

Blankets and

Bedspreads

Permanently pleated or creased garments

Starched articles

Drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads vary according to size, weight and fabric.

If you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have difficulty drying them properly as they expand when drying and prevent air flow through the Dryer. This can cause the appliance to overheat.

Blankets (e.g. Acrilan, Courtelle, Dralon and Orlon) must never be over dried. Such acrylic fabrics should be dried with care on low heat.

Always refer to manufacturers drying instructions.

Always dry starched articles separately from your normal garments. Ensure as much of the solution is removed from the garments as possible before placing in the Dryer.

Use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying items on the washing line.

If garments are over dried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp.
