The time it takes to dry a load

depends on

The kind #of fabric ifs weight aW the

. iemperoture of the rinse water Cold

rinses help save on energy and wrinkles,

but a cold load will take slightly longer

to dry than a warm one

Amount of iint on the screen A full lint

screen slows the arr flow and can make

dving time longer

Room temperature The dryer heats

room air If the room arr temperature

ISnot above 45 F (7 2 C), the automatic

cycle will not advance the trmer and

shut off the dryer Use Timed Drying as a

temporary way of drying a load Drying
