To get the most efficient use of your dryer we recommend you sort your loads.
Before drying
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, etc to reduce snagging and tangling.
Drying times
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
Sort your clothes into loads that take a similar time to dry eg heavier items (towels, T-shirts,
flannelette sheets) from light items (synthetics and polycotton sheets and shirts). This will
prevent some garments becoming overdried while others are still damp.
Spin clothes at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type. The more water you remove in
the wash, the less time it will need to dry. (NEVER put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the
dryer as excessive water could cause an electrical hazard.)
Lint
Dry lint givers and lint collectors separately.

To reduce creasing
Shake clothes out and load individually to help clothes dry evenly.
Launder permanent press garments separately eg business shirts.
Allow enough room for clothes to tumble freely when loading.
Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is completed to reduce the need for ironing.
