3 Hints & Tips on Drying
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer,
check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for
tumble drying.

1 Do not overload the appliance
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common
laundry items.
• 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 rec-
ommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (us-
ing 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.
• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping
bags.
