If you have programmed a ‘Delay Start’ (DE7060M, DE6060M and DE5060M models only), the screen will display the time remaining before the cycle starts, along with any messages to help you with the overall running of your dryer (eg user warnings).
SORTING AND LOADING When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will 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).
SORTING AND LOADING Before you load ●● ●● ●● 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. Loading Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling and to ensure the load is dried evenly.
SORTING AND LOADING Drying times ●● ●● ●● Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads. Heavier items (towels and flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items (synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts). Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
