If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise! Fabric conditioner To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness and helps eliminate static cling.

It's there to trap the particles of lint and fluff which are normally blown away when clothes are dried on the washing-line. if the filter is allowed to become blocked, the passage of warm air through the drum will be severely restricted. This means your clothes will take much longer than normal to dry and the cost of drying them will be increased. These should be removed so that the filter is not restricted. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER EACH DRYING CYCLE. TDL12 and TDL13 The choice of HIGH HEAT or LOW HEAT depends upon the fabric you wish to dry (see section, `Sorting your Laundry') The `Cool About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements Tumble' phase will be switched off, and the programme enters the final `Cool Tumble' phase. TDL12 and TDL13 During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to complete this phase. By opening the door, the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of the load as often as you wish and, if you want to remove (or add) some items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron some items, but others to be fully dried). We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately the programme is finished to minimise creasing. NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER `OFF' WITH A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. YOU MUST TERMINATE EVERY PROGRAMME WITH THE COOL TUMBLE PHASE. 14 The Controls - TDL32 Heat Switch (OUT low heat, IN high heat) Indicator Drying Guide Timer control Timer Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.
