54 Sorting and loading When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting ■■ Check the fabric care labels on the inside of garments to determine whether the item is suitable for tumble drying. ■■ It is best that you sort your garments into loads of similar items, and loads that take similar times to dry, before placing them in the dryer. Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some garments becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of your clothing and linen. ■■ Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will reduce the chance of wrinkles occurring and the chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items. ■■ We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to minimize damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened and where possible turned inside out. ■■ Use the drying rack to dry garments and items that could be damaged by tumbling or you do not wish to tumble, eg woolen garments, shoes, toys. 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 comforter covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes. ■■ Check the lint filter is clean. To reduce wrinkling ■■ Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly. ■■ Launder "permanent press" garments separately, eg business shirts. ■■ Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. ■■ Use the WRINKLE FREE option. ■■ Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing. Loading ■■ Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimize creasing and wrinkling, and to ensure the load is dried evenly. Ensure there is plenty of room for the garments to tumble freely while drying. Load in terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet. ■■ The general rule is that one wash load equals one dryer load. Do not overload your dryer, as it may damage your dryer and clothes. ■■ It is a good idea to dry "permanent press" type garments together on a separate cycle with the WRINKLE FREE option turned on (the EASY IRON has the WRINKLE FREE option turned on automatically if you use the default settings). This will help reduce wrinkling and creasing and the need for ironing.

Sorting and loading
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
■
±
Check the fabric care labels on the inside of garments to determine whether the item is suitable
for tumble drying.
■
±
It is best that you sort your garments into loads of similar items, and loads that take similar times
to dry, before placing them in the dryer. Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and sheets) are best
dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics and shirts). This prevents the possibility of
some garments becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the
life of your clothing and linen.
■
±
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will reduce the chance of
wrinkles occurring and the chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items.
■
±
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to minimize
damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened and where possible
turned inside out.
■
±
Use the drying rack to dry garments and items that could be damaged by tumbling or you do
not wish to tumble, eg woolen garments, shoes, toys.
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 comforter covers),
and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
■
±
Check the lint filter is clean.
To reduce wrinkling
■
±
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly.
■
±
Launder “permanent press” garments separately, eg business shirts.
■
±
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
■
±
Use the WRINKLE FREE option.
■
±
Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
Loading
■
±
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimize creasing and wrinkling, and to ensure the
load is dried evenly. Ensure there is plenty of room for the garments to tumble freely while
