3. To make it
easier to dry
garments
The clothes must be spread out evenly around all the areas of the
wardrobe.
Do not put one garment on top of another or pile garments up on the
hangers in the
Driron.
The clothes must be hung as separately as
possible from each other. If two garments are close together, the air
cannot flow between them and the surfaces may not dry completely.
Consequently, do not overfill the wardrobe.
The greater the amount of clothes to be treated and the damper the
clothes are, the longer the cycle will be and the more possibility there
will be of a garment not being dried sufficiently.
For even drying, energy-saving and the correct programme duration,
do not mix clothes that absorb a great deal of humidity (towels, thick
cotton sheets, etc.) with light clothes of fine fabrics that absorb little
humidity in the same cycle in the
Driron.
The clothes may not dry
evenly; some may come out too damp and others too dry.
For correct drying-ironing, do not spin the clothes in the washing
machine at less than 700 rpm. They would have too much water for
the
Driron.
If there is sufficient room, try to leave a separation between trouser
legs, using adjacent hangers. Drying will be better.

It is important to use the tenter clips and sleeve-straighteners in their
correct position to obtain a better finish for shirts, blouses and T-shirts.
To do this:
• When attaching the Tenter clip, make sure it is not twisted and
that the clothes are correctly caught and stretched along the entire
width of the clip.
• When inserting the clothes, make sure the Tenter clip hangs freely
in the wardrobe and does not catch on other clothes or on the
bottom hangers.
• The use of the Tenter clip with shirts and T-shirts with a high
content of synthetic fibre (polyester, polyamide, Lycra, etc.) is not
necessary.
The use of Sleeve-straighteners is not appropriate when the fabric
is prone to being stretched out of shape.
