Towela
Select cycle accordingto fabric type. Some towels, particularlythose
made of a blend of syntheticfibers and natural fibers (polyester and
cottonblends), may shed more lint than other towels causing your dryer's
lintscreen to get fullfaster. Be sure to remove lint from the dryer lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
Washable
knits
Do not overdry knits.Overdrying can cause shrinkingand static cling.
1. Select cycle according to fabric and construction.
2. Tum synthetics and blends inside out when drying to avoid pilling.
3. Remove cottonand rayon knits while still slightlydamp. Stretch into
shape and lay flat to finish drying.
Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for
reducing static cling (staticcan also be re-
duced by not overdrying) and for softening
fabrics. Always follow package instructions
carefully.
• Put fabric softener sheet on lop of the load
before starting the dryer. Do not add a
fabric softener sheet after the cycle has
started. Instant heat can cause the fabric
softener to spot fabrics.
• Clear, grease-like spots can result lrom the
fabric softener sheet becoming tangled in an
item during tumbling.If fabric softener
causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with
liquid detergent or bar soap, rewash.
• Some fabric softenerscan clogthe lint
screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners
labeled as dryer safe.
Saving
energy
• Dry only full loadswithout overdrying.
• Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to
a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
• Plan your laundryto dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens dryingtime.
• Shorten d_jing times by exhausting dryer
properlyand cleaning exhaust duct as
needed.
-Keep the lint screen clean.
- Use your dryer in a room where room air
temperature is above 45°F (7°C).
-Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
