Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).
The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer
(500rpm minimum).
Drying times vary according to:
- The type of laundry
- The size of the load
- The degree of spinning prior to drying
Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for
your usual laundry loads.
Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually
increasing the drying time.
For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and
increase it by 10 mins.
