Preparing the drying cycle
Preparing your garments for drying
oFor optimum drying performance, sort the laundry according to
fabric type, drying programme and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label.
oBefore drying, thoroughly spin the laundry in a washing machine
if possible to reduce the drying time and save energy.
oCheck all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are
empty.
oRemove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
oZips should be closed, duvet covers and
pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should
be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting
damaged during the drying cycle.
oDo not dry the clothes for longer than necessary to avoid creases
or shrinkage.
oDO NOT dry items containing rubber or similar elastic materials,
raincoats, bicycle covers or feather products.
oDO NOT dry clothes which have been dry-cleaned.
oIn order to avoid danger of fire caused by excessive drying, DO
NOT use the appliance to dry items such as cushions and quilts
as these items accumulate heat.
oEnsure the lint filter and container are emptied and cleaned after
each use to avoid the extension of drying time and energy use.

oDo not exceed the maximum load capacity or the machine will
fail to dry the clothes efficiently. You should refer to the program
tables for the maximum load size for each program and the
weight references below before starting a cycle. Please note that
all weights are approximate.
