SORTING AND LOADING Before you load zz zz zz Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes. Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up to drain automatically).
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY Lint Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers and collectors separately. LINT GIVERS LINT COLLECTORS Towels Synthetics eg polar fleece Flannelette sheets Corduroy Polyester cottons zz zz zz Check the lint filter is clean before every load.
