LINT PRODUCERS--such as terry toweling and
chenille--give up lint.
LINT COLLECTORS--such as man-made fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy--attract
lint. These must be dried separately.

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 t_eely. Overloading prolongs
drying time and produces uneven drying.
• Use Automatic Drying Cycle whenever possible
to help prevent overdrying and save energy.
• To help prevent ironing, remove garments
immediately at end of 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.
