DRY CYCLES Your dryer has a number of dry cycles, selecting the most appropriate cycle for each load will help ensure you get the best drying result. CYCLE DESIGNED FOR MAX LOAD (KG) DEFAULT DRYNESS LEVEL* Mixed Auto sensing cycle for mixed loads including cottons, synthetics and mixed fibres. 9 Dry Cottons** Auto sensing cycle for cotton clothes. 9 Dry Delicates Auto sensing cycle for delicate garments.
DRY PREPARATION Sorting Sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-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.
DRY PREPARATION Before you load z z z z 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 duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes. Items of clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out to prevent damage to the print.
DRY PREPARATION Drying rack There are many items that would benefit from being dried on a drying rack. For example items such as sport shoes, soft toys, hats and woollen items that may be damaged if they are tumbled. 1 The drying rack is installed in your dryer when it leaves the factory. When you are using the drying rack you must select the RACK DRY or WOOL cycle. 2 If the rack is not properly installed or if a garment has fallen from it, a user prompt will appear on the digital display screen.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options (eg DRYNESS LEVEL, DRY TEMP) to create your desired cycle. Some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS Wrinkle Free To minimise wrinkling, select one of the WRINKLE FREE options. z z ON provides wrinkle free operation for 1 hour.
