Laundry

Sorting your laundry

Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure
●
that the articles can be tumble dried.
Sort laundry by fabric type.
●
Empty pockets and check buttons.
●
Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
●
strings.
Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
●
excess water as possible.
! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.
Maximum load size
Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:
Natural fibres: 8kg max (18lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)
! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in
reduced drying performance.

Drying times

The table (see below) presents APPROXIMATE drying
times in Minutes. Weights refer to dry garments.
Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin
●
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but
●
different textures and thicknesses may not have
the same drying time.
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads
●
may take longer to dry.
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your
●
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them
to be completely dry.
Heat setting.
●
Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is
●
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to
dry your clothes.
Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with
●
care. We suggest that you remove these items
several times, shake them out, and return them to
the dryer until finished.
! Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which
keeps them soft and fluffy.
