Please not that the Drying Times stated below and on appliance
control panel are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:
Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the
suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may
sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.
The GUIDE TO DRYING TIMES is based on clothes taken from an
automatic washing machine with cottons spun at 1000rpm and
synthetics spun at 800rpm.
Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different
thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,
such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and
although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.
Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally
longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.
As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for
ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly
damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until
they are fully dry.
The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to
select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.
If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take
longer to dry than if the room is warm.
Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care,
and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake
them and return them to the dryer. THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME
ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS
NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING’
