●
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying time.
●
DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.
●
Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
●
Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
●
Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
●
Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
●
Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
●
When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:
●
Articles contaminated with inflammable
substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking
oil, fats or hair lacquer.
●
Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
●
Very delicate articles such as silk.
●
Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.
