laundry or a fabric conditioner specif-
ically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer
has finished drying.
• If individual items are still damp after
drying, set a brief post-drying time,
but
at least 30 minutes
. This will be
necessary particularly for multilay-
ered items (e.g. collars, pockets,
etc.).
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers and
tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cotton lined
anoraks, the cotton layer should be
outermost). These fabrics will then dry
better.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen:
drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Synthetics:
drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens:

no more than one third full.
Try to load to the maximum capacity
of the machine as small loads are
uneconomical.
