WARNING: CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CLIMB INTO TUMBLE DRYERS AND INJURE THEMSELVES. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF AT THE MAINS WHEN THE DRYER IS NOT BEING USED. 9 Sorting your laundry 1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring `special attention' (see"Wash Care Labels" section). Maximum load size Your dryer will hold a load of 5kg (11lb) dry weight of natural fabrics. if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6. 6lb) dry weight. This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-dry without creasing. WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. Typical load To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. · · · · 11 Items requiring special attention Blankets and Bedspreads The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course, vary tremendously according to size and weight. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have difficulty drying them properly. [. . . ] The temperature of the room Bulky items If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, 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, and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake them and return them to the dryer.

Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more ironing than usual giving you extra work that the dryer was designed to remove. 15 Caring for your Dryer Your tumble dryer needs very little attention.
