Since old times people have got used to drying clothes outside after washing and this is under good weather conditions. However, when the weather is nasty and frightful it appears to be a problem to get it dry outside and inside as well. In this fast-moving and demanding world, such an invention as a dryer will put your life at ease. Having bought this wonderful appliance you might be questioned how to use a dryer?
How to use a dryer to get the desired result
In order to know how to use a dryer on an advanced level, you should bear in mind that before this procedure a lint trap must be emptied! It can be done immediately after you have dried the laundry. No doubt you understand why and it has two valid explanations. Needless to say, that fire risk comes into first place. In fact, people collect it with the purpose to start a fire when going on camping. It accumulates on a lint trap and gets hazardous. Some people feel free to vacuum it over and over again.
The next point why it matters to keep it neat and tidy is to maintain the free circulation of the air and not to block it up. Otherwise, as a result, it will increase the time to dry; the efficiency of the dryer will obviously be less powerful. Furthermore, the clothing items may not come out the way you expect it to be dry and wrinkle-free. Simply nobody wants to start getting rid of lint afterward.
One more vital piece of advice is to take a scrutiny glance at the care labels. And if it is compatible, send your clothes to the machine straight away! How about drying it inside out on a regular basis? This is the right way to prolong the lifecycle of your favorite garment and forget about pilling and fading for as long as possible.
First of all, take clothes items and put them into the dryer. At this very moment, it will be reasonable to load dryer sheets into the dryer if you intend to use them. It’s high time you closed the door. The next step in this tutorial on how to use a dryer is to take a close look at the upper part of the dryer. In fact, the control center of the whole machine for all of its features and options.
The major amount of dryers will have pretty much the same features and knobs. This guidance is really likely to be suitable for many of you. Keep reading and see how it can apply to your device. If the knobs and features are exactly the same or alike you should take this instruction and convert it to the wording on your dryer and so forth.
So I suggest we continue with the instruction. It will be logical to get the ball rolling with the knob that controls the temperature. It must read something like low, medium, high or sanitize. Feel free to turn it to the temperature you wish. Preferably to leave it at a high temperature. Clearly, the higher the temperature the hotter the dryer is going to be.
Moving on to the next knob which is ‘signal’ option. Needless to say that some machines have the ability to turn it off. What is more, if you want to turn it on you can turn it to a low volume or a high one. On a regular basis you can leave it off but if you turn the signal on you will provide an audible signal when the dryer has finished its cycle. So we will be able to hear some sort of sound or noise at that very moment when the dryer has finished its cycle.
Wrinkle prevent option comes next in this description. Some dryers are equipped with this wrinkle to prevent option. There is nothing about it. Simply to prevent wrinkles from occurring in case of drying specific types of clothing.

It would be nice to cover some information about the main control center of the dryer. There are a few different options. If you can see the steam fresh option, it will allow you to steam the clothing with steam. Also, there can be an “air only” option. It usually has a variety of times. You can select the time if you want to have the dryer functioning with air only. For sensor dry, the dryer will sense whenever it hits each specific option. You can see ‘wrinkle prevent’,’ cool down’, ‘less dry’,’ energy preferred’ or ‘drier’ mode.
This is the ‘timed dry option’ with the range from 60, 50, 40 up to 10 minutes. Basically, choose the amount of time that you would like to have the dryer operating for. The best possible time to put it on is about 50 minutes give or take.
Some dryers in order to start a cycle you will have to pull the knob out or push the knob in. In addition, some dryers have the button that says ‘push to start’.
As soon as you made up your mind having selected all the desirable options, used the knobs on your dryer, start the dryer.
To start the dryer you either do something with the knob that shows senor dry/timed dry/air only, if that is the way your dryer operates. Or you push a separate start knob.
One more handy tip is to use several different types of dryer balls. If you need to dry natural fibers you’d better use wool dryer ball. You would also admire the idea to drop two or three drops of your best-loved essential oils. It will disperse the wonderful scent. You will be pleased with the result.
The other type of ball to use is small size spiky style one. Throw three, four or five of them in your dryer. It is good at fluffing and bouncing clothes. It has a positive effect, boosts tumbling motion and fast-tracks drying.
Balled up tin foil can easily replace those above mentioned if you have difficulty buying them.
