Load Preparation; Load Sizes - KitchenAid KEYL405W Use And Care Manual

Load Preparation
For best results, the following steps
should be taken to prepare your
clothes for drying.
e Separate heavy fabrics (denim and
towels) from light fabrics
(synthetics and permanent press).
e Separate lint givers (towels and
chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics and permanent press).
When possible, tum lint givers
inside out.
e Separate dark from light colors,
and colorfast from nor-colorfast.
e Empty all pockets. A small scrap of
paper can cause a lot of lint. Tum
pockets of heavy items inside out
for even drying.
e Some clothing has heat-sensitive
trim which can be damaged by
drying. Check garment's care
label.
Load Sizes
eA proper size washer load is
generally a proper size dryer load.
e For best drying results, do not dry
more than two fullsize sheets in
one load, even if more than two
sheets were in same washer load.
Sheets need more space for
proper air movement and
maximum drying. Fill out the load
with small items of the same type
fabric.
Fabric Softener
Dryer fabric softeners are
recommended for reducing static
cling and softening fabrics. Always
follow package directions carefully.
IMPORTANT: Static cling can also
be reduced by not overdrying the
load or overloading the dryer.
e For best results, put a sheet of
fabric softener on top of the load
before starting the dryer.
© Do not add the fabric softener
sheet after the cycle has started.
Instant heat can cause the fabric
softener to spot fabrics.
*Tie strings and sashes so they
won't tangle.
e Close zippers, snaps and hooks to
avoid snagging other items.
Remove any sharp or heavy
objects that could damage the
dryer drum.
e Put small items (baby socks,
handkerchiefs) in a small mesh
bag for easier removal.
e Check garments to make sure all
spots and stains were removed
during the wash. If stains were
not removed, do not tumble dry.
Heat may permanently set the
stain.
Loading
eif the fabric softener sheet
becomes tangled or wrapped in
one item during tumbling, a clear
greaselike spot can result. If fabric
softener has caused a stain, wet
the stain and rub with liquid
detergent or bar soap, then wash
the item.
e Use only fabric softeners labeled
as dryer safe. Some dryer fabric
softeners can cause dryers with
dryness sensors to overheat and/
or fail to shut off. They can also
clog the lint screen and slow
drying. See "Lint Screen
Maintenance" on page 11 for
proper cleaning.
Static cling can be reduced by not
overloading.
