GB Drying times Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following: • Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water. €¢ Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times. €¢ Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry. €¢ Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer. €¢ Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing. €¢ Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.
