Please note that the drying times stated below and on the appliance
control panel are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:-
Items such as towels retain a lot of water after spinning, also the
suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may
sometimes include a low spin speed which has the same effect.
Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different
thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,
such as those used for jeans are of denser texture than others and
although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.
Single articles of clothing or small loads may take longer to dry. It is
more energy efficient to dry larger loads.
Since it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for
ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly
damp and ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder
until they are fully dry.
The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to
select. See the 'Wash Care Labels' section.
If the dryer is located in a cold room, your clothes will take longer to
dry than if the room is warm.
Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care, but
we recommend removing these items several times, shaking them
and putting them back in the dryer.
THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE
YOU TO DRY. SEE 'ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE
DRYING'

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when 'dry' and this
natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and
fluffy.
Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more
ironing than usual, giving you extra work rather than saving labor, as
the dryer was designed to do.
