DRYING TIPS
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to
avoid snagging
other items. Remove
heat-sensitive trim that can be damaged
by drying. Tie strings and sashes so
they will not tangle.
• Check garments for spots and stains
left after washing. Do not tumble these
items. Heat may permanently set stains.
• Check pockets before drying. Sharp or
metal objects can damage your dryer.
Do not lay these objects on your dryer;
they can damage the finish. Turn pockets
of heavy garments inside out for even
drying.
• Place small items such as baby socks
or hankies in laundry bag for easier
removal.
• Articles to be ironed should be
removed while still slightly damp.
USING DRYER
FABRIC SOFTENERS
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended
for reducing static cling. Always follow
package instructions
carefully.
• Put one fabric softener sheet on top
of the load before starting the dryer.
Do not add a fabric softener sheet after
the drying cycle has started. Instant
heat can cause the fabric softener to
spot fabrics.
• Remove fabric softener stains by wetting
the stains and rubbing them with liquid
detergent or bar soap and rewash.
• Some fabric softeners can clog the
lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric
softeners labeled as dryer safe.
SAVING ENERGY
• Use the AUTO DRY Cycle to dry
most loads.
• Dry full loads only. Do not overdry.
• Avoid overloading
dryer, adding wet
items to a partly dried load, or opening
the door unnecessarily.
• Shorten drying times by exhausting
dryer properly and cleaning exhaust
vent and outside exhaust hood as
needed.
• Keep the lint screen clean.
• Use dryer where room air temperature
is above 45°F.
• Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
