Lifecycles®
L3 Bulky Items
BLANKETS
You will need to check the care label to make sure that the item can be dried in the dryer.
It is a good idea to include 4 – 5 medium sized towels along with the blanket for cushioning. This will reduce shrinkage from over tumbling. If you are drying more than one blanket, ensure that they do not sit higher than the top of the lint bucket, otherwise there will not be enough room for them to tumble.
This cycle uses the lowest heat setting, the Light Fabric Type setting and runs with the Damp/Dry How Dry setting.
On completion, remove the blanket, shake and if needed stretch the blanket back to its original shape. Place back in the dryer and repeat until the blanket is dry.
Note:
It is important to completely dry the blanket to prevent mildew from forming.
JEANS
This cycle has been designed for drying denims or similar heavyweight items like jeans and thick towels, which are bulky or have thick seams. The Jeans lifecycle has been tailored to dry these items. This cycle uses High Heat, the Heavy Fabric Type, and has the CREASABLES option selected.
DUVET/DOONA
Duvets/Doonas are very bulky items and can be difficult to dry.
It is important before you put your duvet/doona in the dryer that you check to make sure the care label says that it can be dried in a clothes dryer.
This cycle uses Autosensing, and dries on the lowest heat setting. The Fabric Type setting used is Light, How Dry level is Dry/Extra Dry. It is a good idea to check the garment throughout the cycle to ensure even drying. If the item contains feathers, add a heavy item (e.g. a towel tied in a knot) to the load to help fluff the duvet/doona.
Ensure the load does not sit higher than the top of the lint bucket before starting the cycle.
