Using Your Dryer Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer recommends tumble drying (see care label section). 1. Sorting It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar types, and loads that take similar times to dry. Heavier items (e.g. towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (e.g. synthetics, poly-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items 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 the washer has finished will decrease the chance of wrinkles 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 ensure the screen-printing does not stick to the drum. Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened and where possible turned inside out. Place undergarments in a net bag to provide protection from other items in the load. Use a drying rack to dry wool garments (available as an optional accessory). 2. Loading Garments need to be loaded properly to reduce the likelihood of them wrinkling and to ensure the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is ample 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 one wash load = one dryer load. It is a good idea to dry 'permanent press' type garments together in a separate cycle with the EXTRA CARE option turned on. This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing. 3. Clean the Lint Filter Clean the lint filter each time you use the dryer, before or after each load. It is important that you run your dryer with the lint filter in place at all times. 34

Using Your Dryer
Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer
recommends tumble drying (see care label section).
². Sorting
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer.
Sort into loads of similar
types, and loads that take similar times to dry.
Heavier items (e.g. towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight
items (e.g. synthetics, poly-cotton sheets and shirts).
This prevents the possibility of some items
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 the washer has finished will decrease the chance of wrinkles 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 ensure the
screen-printing does not stick to the drum.
Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened
and where possible turned inside out.
Place undergarments in a net bag to provide protection
from other items in the load.
Use a drying rack to dry wool garments (available as an optional accessory).
2. Loading
Garments need to be loaded properly to reduce the likelihood of them wrinkling and to ensure
the load is dried evenly.
Make sure there is ample 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 one wash load = one dryer load.
It is a good idea to dry ‘permanent press’ type garments together in a separate cycle with the
EXTRA CARE
option turned on.
This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing.
3. Clean the Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter each time you use the dryer, before or after each load.
It is important that you run your dryer with the lint filter in place at all times.
