The following items must NOT be placed
in the Dryer as they pose a fire risk:
• Chemically impregnated fabrics such as
mops or cleaning cloths saturated with
wax or inflammable solvents.
• Rubber backed articles, rubber boots, and
tennis shoes.
• Clothes fitted with foam rubber pads.
• Garments treated with dry-cleaning fluid
or a combustible solution.
• Durable pleated items other than
permanent press.
• Fibre-glass or leather items.
• Cushions, quilts and similar stuffed items
as these accumulate heat.
• Gas lighters that have accidentally been
left in pockets.
Loading
• Do not overload the machine. We
recommend loading the drum to the
halfway mark.
• Do not place dripping wet articles in the
dryer. As much water as possible should
be extracted before placing them in the
drum.
• Clothes should not be loaded in a tangled
condition as this will prolong the drying
time.
• Mix small and large articles for faster
drying time. Shake out each article for
more even drying.
• It is recommended that synthetic whites
and coloured articles are not mixed until
their colour fastness has been
established.
• Add a few hand towels to act as buffers
when drying a very small load.
• Large items tend to retain a certain
position in the drum. To ensure thorough
drying it may be necessary to remove
these articles midway during the drying
cycle and reposition them before
continuing.
• Bulky duvets and eiderdowns may not be
suitable even if the dry weight of the item
is within the prescribed limits. Their size
may prevent them from tumbling.

Cotton T-shirts and Knit underwear
• Dry only to a slightly damp stage. If these
articles are allowed to tumble too long, the
knitted cotton may shrink. This may be
corrected by re-dampening or by wearing
the article.
Curtains and slip covers
• Remove from the dryer while slightly
damp.
• Iron and hang immediately.
Chenille and candlewick bedspreads
• Dry only one bedspread at a time.
• Remove as much moisture as possible
before placing the bedspread in the dryer.
• Dry completely.
Lingerie
• Use the Delicate programme.
• Remove soon after drying to minimize
creasing.
• To avoid tangling, it is recommended that
nylon stockings are enclosed in a nylon
mesh bag during drying.
Knitted synthetics
• Use a dry towel as a buffer, rubbing
surfaces may cause small beads to form,
(Turn these articles inside out).
Corduroy
• Turn inside out.
• Remove while still damp and re-shape.
Silks, Dacrons and nylons
• Place in the dryer separately.
• Do not over-dry.
