Loading • • • • • • • Do not overload the machine. We recommend loading the drum to the halfway mark. The capacity of the machine is 5kg of spin-dried articles. Do not place dripping wet articles in the Dryer. As much water as possible should be extracted from them before placing them in the drum. Clothes should not be loaded in a tangled condition as this will prolong the drying time. When loading, shake out each article and place it in the drum. Mix small and large articles for faster more even drying.
Drying time • • • No accurate drying time can be quoted as this depends on the make-up of the load, the dryness required and the amount of moisture present in the articles when placed in the machine. Avoid over drying. All fabrics hold a certain amount of natural moisture. Over drying can result in “hard” clothes, shrinkage and set creases. Clothes removed from the Dryer when feeling slightly damp, will feel dry when cooled. Drying guide The following table is intended as a guide only.
Fabric hints Always check garment care labels for the manufacturer’s recommendation Blankets • Extract most of the water from the blanket before drying. • Place 2 to 3 towels in the Dryer and allow the Dryer to pre-heat for 10 minutes on a HOT setting. • Switch to the WARM setting before placing the blanket in the Dryer. • 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.
Unsuitable materials 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 inflammable solvents. • Rubber backed articles, rubber boots, and tennis 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.
