Checking the clothes before loading

Overloading gives a poor drying result and causes unnecessary creasing.Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. It will cause an increasing of drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that the clothes are spun thoroughly before loading. A mixed fabric load can cause the drying time to be extended and the time remaining in the display to pause during active drying. The remaining time will then continue when it is the actual time that remains. Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.Remove loose belts and close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag other clothes.
