loading your

Dryer

For best dryng results and energy

savings, sort dryer loads carefully

Separate loads

according to

the type of fabric and werght For

example

Dry heavy fabrics (denrms. towels.

cottons) separately from light fabrics

(permanent press, synthetrcs)

Separate lint grvers [towels, sweat-

shirts, etc ) from lint takers (synthetics.

blends, permanent press]

Keep dark colors and light colors

separate

Keep colorfast Items away from non-

colorfast fabrics

Allow room

for Items to tumble

freely. The load

will

dry faster with fewer

wrinkles When dryng permanent press,

dry smaller-than-normal

loads for the

best wrinkle removal

Use a mesh bag

to hold small

Items such as baby socks

Setting Drying

Times

Modern dryers are designed

with dry/ins temperatures needed to

safely handle modern fabrics Cool-

down times have been added to heat

settings You mrght notice slrghtly

longer drying times

The time It takes to dry a load

depends on.

The kind of fabric, its weight and the

size of the iood A large load of jeans

WI/I take a lot longer to dry than a

small load of light synthetics

The amount of moisture in the iood

Towels hold a lot of moisture, synthetics

don’t. Synthetics dry faster

Temperature of the rinse water Cold

rinses help save on energy and wrin-

kles, but a cold load WIII take slightly

longer to dry than a warm one

mAmount of //nt on the screen A full

lint screen slows the a/r flow and can

make drying time longer

Room temperature The dryer heats

room air If the room arr temperature IS

not above 45 F (7 2 C), drying trme WIII

be longer and removal of wrrnkles may

be poor

Proper instaiiotion and exhousf sys~

terns For the fastest possrble drying

time, Installing and exhausting your

dryer properly IS important See rnstal-

lation instructtons.

drying can cause shrinkage,
