Dryers consume energy: be careful not to lose heat by leaving
the door open after use:
- Do not leave the door open after unloading and before loading the next batch
(10° lost each minute the door is open).
- Clean the lint/fluff filter regularly during the day. Clean filters reduce energy use.
- Do not over-dry laundry if it is to be ironed after drying.
If it is too dry, it will need re-wetting for finishing.
- Test the drying time for each type of article and write down drying times per textile family.
- Respect the filling ratio: if laundry piles up against the loading door, it means that
the dryer is overloaded. The laundry must rotate freely all over the drum.
- Don’t hesitate to let the dryer run empty for a few minutes between two loads.
It costs less and saves time since you will not have to heat it up at the next load.
- Never leave hot laundry in the dryer at the end of the working day (fire hazard).
It is better to leave wet laundry overnight and dry it the next morning.
- Use the “cooling” button for the last cycle of the day.
