Drying Tips and Precautions

Delicate clothes especially those with ribbon or lace, should be placed in a nylon mesh bag
before drying to prevent tangling.
Clothes with zippers
Zippers, buckles, buttons and fasteners should be closed or clothing should be turn
inside out to reduce the impact of noise between metal and the drum.
Solvents
- Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.). These substances give off vapors that may ignite or explode. Do not add
these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or
dryer during operation.
- Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to catch fire.
- Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent or that contains flammable materials (such
as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not
be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or flammable materials have been removed. There are
many highly flammable items used in homes such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and
products containing petroleum distillates.
Elastics
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis shoes,
rubber galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc. that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Fabrics
- Make sure to check if there are any special requirements or warning labels on garments before
drying. Carefully follow the garment manufacturer's care instructions.
- Avoid clothes being caught by the door which will cause clothes to tangle and damage the door
gasket.
- Separate dark and light colored items, like you do for washing.
- Check for stains that may not have been removed in washing.
- Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. Properly dried clothes will need minimum care
when removed from dryer.
- For optimum results,use dryer load with cloths of similar fabric, weight and construction.
Always remove the clothing from the dryer as soon as possible.
