If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying. — 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. 7 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. — 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.
