Drying Procedures - Electrolux 6000 Service Manual

Drying Procedures

• Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for
drying.
• Read the Operating Instructions card for operating
your specific model.
• Always read and follow fabric care labels and
laundry product labels.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons, read Important Safety
Instructions before operating this dryer.
1. Prepare items for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and
construction in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items.
Separate items that shed lint from those that
attract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside
out.
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof
and won't damage the drum finish. Close
zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like
fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent
snagging and tangling.
• If possible, turn pockets inside out for even
drying.
• Check for stains which may not have been
removed in washing. Dryer heat may
permanently set some stains. Repeat stain
removal process before drying.
• Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent
tangling and for easy removal.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer.
• The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full.
Items need room to tumble freely for even
drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload
dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a
time. Fill out the load with small and medium
sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free
towels for better drying, less wrinkling, and to
prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener
sheets.
• Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause
wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a buildup
of static electricity, which can produce more lint.
