]Polyester Knits & Permanent Press Drying Tips
,, DO NOT OVERLOAD--
Garments being dried or
dewrinkled should ramble freely.
• REMOVE CLOTHES
PROMPTLY--To help prevent
wrinkling, remove clothes from
the dryer promptly at the end of
the drying cycles.
• PLACE ON HANGERS--
Permanent press and polyester
knit garments look best if placed
on haaagers after drying.
The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying
Automatic Drying. Wqaen using the Automatic Cycles,
the dryer continually senses the temperature of the air
in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps this air cool.
When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warm
enough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat
turns back on. This off and on cycling may happen a
number of times (depending on the fabric, load size
and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle Selector
advances (when the he:at is off) until it automatically
turns off the dryer.
Timed Drying, When using the Timed Cycle,;, you
select the number of minute.,; you wish the: dryer to
run and it turns off at the end of this time period.
