ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR YOUR DRYER
• Sort clothes by weight so you won't have to
run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slower-
drying items.
• Do not overload dryer. The drum should be no more
than half full of wet articles. For efficient drying,
clothes need to tumble freely. Overloading prolongs
drying time and produces uneven drying.
• Use Automatic Drying Cycle whenever possible
to help prevent overdrying and to save energy.
HOW TO SORT CLOTHES
LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.
LINT COLLECTORS—such as manmade fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract
lint. These must be dried separately.
For information on tumble drying extra-large
items and different fabrics and loads, see the
Suggested Fabrics and Drying Selections guide.
• To help prevent ironing, remove garments
immediately at the end of the drying cycle
and place on hangers.
• Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a
"warm" dryer will save energy.
• Clean lint filter each time you dry.
• Clean dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A
partially clogged exhaust can lengthen drying time.
In addition to
sorting to reduce
lint collection, we
recommend that you
wash fabrics of similar
construction together
whenever possible.
