LOADING TIPS - DRYER

•Mix large items with small items.' Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight. Do not overload the dryer. Overcrowding

causes uneven drying and wrinkling, and can cause items to wear out faster

(because of pilling).

•You may need to rearrange large items (sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a cycle to reduce bailing or rolling up.

•For better tumbling action, when drying only a few small items, add one or two lint-free towels. This also prevents small lightweight items from blocking airflow.

USING DRYER

FABRIC SOFTENERS

Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling. Always follow package instructions carefully.

•Put one fabric softener sheet on top

of the load before starting the dryer. Do not add a fabric softener sheet after

the drying cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to

spot fabrics.

•Remove fabric softener stains by wetting the stains and rubbing them with liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash.

•Some fabric softeners can clog the lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners labeled as dryer safe.

SAVING

ENERGY

automatic

drying cycles to

'-

laundry center properly and cleaning exhaust vent and outside exhaust

hood as needed.

•Keep the lint screen clean.

•Use dryer where room air temperature is above 45'_E
