Precautions
Do not allow children or the infirm to operate
the dryer without supervision.
Pets and children have been known to climb
into tumble dryers. Please check the drum be-
fore use.
The following items must NOT be placed
in the Dryer as they pose a fire risk:
Chemically impregnated fabrics such as mops
or cleaning cloths saturated with wax or in-
flammable solvents.
Rubber backed articles, rubber boots, and ten-
nis shoes.
Clothes fitted with foam rubber pads.
Garments treated with dry-cleaning fluid or a
combustible solution.
Durable pleated items other than permanent
press.
Fibre-glass or leather items.
Cushions, quilts and similar stuffed items as
these accumulate heat.
Gas lighters that have accidentally been left in
pockets.
Loading
Do not overload the machine. We recommend
loading the drum to the halfway mark.
Do not place dripping wet articles in the dryer.
As much water as possible should be extracted
before placing them in the drum.
Clothes should not be loaded in a tangled con-
dition as this will prolong the drying time.
Shake out each article and place it in the drum.
Mix small and large articles for faster more
even drying.
It is recommended that synthetic whites and
coloured articles are not mixed until their col-
ourfastness has been established.
Add a few hand towels to act as buffers when
drying a very small load.
Blankets and other large items tend to retain a
certain position in the drum. To ensure thor-
ough drying it may be necessary to remove
these articles midway during the drying cycle
and reposition them before continuing.
Bulky duvets and eiderdowns may not be suit-
able even if the dry weight of the item is
within the prescribed limits. Their size may
prevent them from tumbling.

Programme recommendations
Blankets.
Extract most of the water before drying.
Remove the blanket while it is still slightly damp.
Reshape and hang out to dry.
When dry, brush to raise the nap and press the
binding with a warm iron.
Cotton T-shirts and Knit underwear.
Dry only to a slightly damp stage. If these articles
are allowed to tumble too long, the knitted cotton
may shrink. This may be corrected by re-
dampening or by wearing the article.
Curtains and slip covers.
Remove from the dryer while slightly damp.
Iron and hang immediately.
Chenille and candlewick bedspreads.
Dry only one bedspread at a time.
Remove as much moisture as possible before
placing the bedspread in the dryer.
Dry completely.
Lingerie.
Use the Delicate programme.
Remove soon after drying to minimize creasing.
To avoid tangling, it is recommended that nylon
stockings are enclosed in a nylon mesh bag dur-
ing drying.
Knitted synthetics.
Use a dry towel as a buffer. as rubbing surfaces
may cause small beads to form, it is advisable to
turn these articles inside out.
Corduroy.
Turn inside out.
Remove while still damp and re-shape.
Silks, Dacrons and nylons.
Place in the dryer separately.
Do not over-dry.
