Sorting

It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar types, and loads that take similar times to dry.

Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, poly-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over- dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of

your clothing and linen. Fig.41 Sort before loading

For best results match your load to the drying cycles offered to ensure the best drying of your items (for more information on drying cycles available refer to page 43).

Drying your clothes as soon as the washer has finished will decrease the chance of wrinkles and the chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items.

We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to ensure the screen-printing does not stick to the drum. Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened and where possible turned inside out. Place undergarments in a net bag to provide protection from other items in the load.

Loading

Garments need to be loaded correctly to reduce the likelihood of them wrinkling and to ensure the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is ample room for the garments to tumble freely while drying. Load in terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet.

The general rule is one wash load = one dryer load.

Only load the dryer up to the top of the transparent section of the lint bucket. Loading any higher may result in uneven drying, tangling, wrinkling and the dryer becoming overloaded.

Load no higher than here

It is a good idea to dry ‘permanent press’ type garments together using the EASY IRON cycle, which has the WRINKLE FREE option turned on. This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing.
