Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for
reducing static cling and for softening
fabrics. Always follow package instructions
carefully.
l
Put one fabric softener sheet
on top of the load
before start-
ing the dryer.
Do not add a
fabric softener sheet
after
the
cycle has started. Instant heat
can cause the fabric softener to
spot fabrics.
l
Remove fabric softener stains by wetting
the stains and rubbing them with liquid
detergent or bar soap and rewash.
l
Some fabric softeners can clog the lint
screen and slow drying. Use fabric soften-
ers labeled as dryer safe.
Saving energy
l
Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.
l
Dry only full loads without overdrying.
l
Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items
to a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
l
Plan your laundry to dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens drying
time.
l
Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer
properly and cleaning exhaust duct and
outside exhaust hood 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.
