For best dn/ir-ig results and energy

savings, sort dryer loads carefully

Separate loads

according to

the type of fabric and weight For

example

Dry heavy fabrics (denims, towels,

cottons] separately from light fabrics

[permanent press, synthetics).

Separate lint givers (towels, sweat-

shirts, etc ) from IInt 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 drying permanent press,

dry smaller-than-normal

loads for the

best wrinkle removal.

Use a mesh bag

to hold small

items such as baby socks
