remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried
ado not use the Very Dry programme.
Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when
washing the laundry to be dried.
Use the timer programme for small loads a this improves the drying result.
