Sorting your laundry
NOTE: The dryer is only intended for drying articles which have been well washed in water and detergent and have been well rinsed and spun.
1.It is best to sort everything into fabric groups.
It is very important to follow carefully each garment manufacturer’s washing and drying instructions, as given on the Care Label attached to the garment.
The same grouping applies to washing machines, so you will probably already have done this when preparing your wash.
2.See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened, and belts, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows. Once again, you will normally have already done this at the washing stage.
3.It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before loading. This will save you time and money.
Do not overspin
Fabric conditioner will give even more softness to all fabrics and is invaluable for controlling the static electricity which causes
WARNING – CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING WET.
4.Make sure, by referring to the section on page 11, that items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of the type requiring ‘special attention’ (see pages 11 & 12).
Articles that contain safety pins, hair grips, metal fastenings or stiffening (eg, bra wires) that may become detached should not be placed in laundry appliances. If they tumble free they could they could interfere with mechanical or electrical parts of your washer or dryer.
Maximum Load Size
Maximum loads are: Cottons 3 kg (61/2 Ib.) Synthetics and mixtures
1kg (21/41b.) for minimum creasing 2kg (41/21b.) if creasing unimportant
Synthetic fibres require more space to tumble dry without creasing therefore the maximum load is reduced compared to that of cottons.
