Modern dryers are designed

wrth drying temperatures needed to

safely handle modern fabrics. Cool-

settings You might notlce slrghtly

longer drying times.

The time It takes to dry a load

depends on

The k/nd of fobnc, its wejghf, and the

size of the iood A large load of jeans

will take a lot longer to dry than a

small load of light synthetics.

The amount of moisture /n the ioad

Towels hold a lot of moisture, synthetics

don’t Synthetics dry faster

Temperature of the rinse water Cold

rinses help save on energy and wren-

kles. but a cold load will take slrghtly

longer to dry than a warm one

Amount of iint on the screen A full

lint screen slows the air flow and can

make drying time longer

Temperature around the dryer The

dryer heats room air. If that air IS cold,

drying time will be longer and fabric
