SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
It is recommended that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort
into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier
items (egtowels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items
(egsynthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some
items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life
of your clothing and linen.
Look for a care label on your clothes as this will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the chance
of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items from occurring.
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to
prevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened and
where possible, turned inside out.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the
garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels. Only dry items in
this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new.
Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.
