If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying. Q Note: The last 10 minutes of any time set is the Cool Tumble, so allow for this when setting the time, as this period will not dry your laundry. 5 Laundry GB Special clothing items Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s drying instructions on the garment. Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch. Times are approximate and can vary depending upon: q Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water. Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time. Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry. Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry. Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes. Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished. Q q q q Drying times q The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes.

Q Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner. Your dryer uses special bearing components which do not need lubrication. [. . . ]
