Using Your Dryer
5. Selecting a Cycle
Your dryer has a number of
SMART TOUCH CYCLES
that can be used to dry different types
of garments:
Select a drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. Different fabrics have different
drying requirements, so it is important to choose the cycle that best describes the load. If your
load contains mainly delicate items it is best you select the
DELICATE
cycle.
Always follow manufacturer’s care label instructions when drying.
If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, it’s best to select a lower heat rather
than a higher heat, eg the
DELICATE
or
PERMANENT PRESS
cycle instead of the
REGULAR
cycle.
AIR DRY
– For items requiring drying without heat. Perfect for airing clothes or to freshen up
garments that have been packed in a suitcase or drawer.
DELICATE
– For heat sensitive items, this cycle uses a low heat. Use this setting when care labels
recommend low heat settings or for garments with a synthetic fiber content, where overheating
could cause damage to fibers.
PERMANENT PRESS
– For drying lightweight fabrics. A medium heat is used to reduce
wrinkles. Ideal for lightweight cottons, casuals and items labelled “tumble dry with a medium
heat”. This cycle automatically selects the
WRINKLE FREE
option to reduce wrinkles.
REGULAR
– For drying general cottons such as sheets, sweats and knits. This cycle uses a high
heat to dry clothes quickly. Suitable for garments labelled “tumble dry”.
DENIM
– For drying denims or similar heavyweight items like jeans and thick towels which are
bulky or have thick seams. The
DENIM
Cycle has been tailored to adequately dry these items.
