those

 

 

made of a blend of synthetic fibers and natural fibers (polyester and

 

 

cotton blends), may shed more lint than other towels, causing your dryer’s

 

 

lint screen to get full faster. Be sure to remove lint from the dryer lint

 

 

screen before and after drying new towels.

Using dryer fabric softeners

Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling (static can also be re- duced by not overdrying) and for softening fabrics. Always follow package instructions carefully.

lPut fabric softener sheet on top of the load before starting the dryer. Do not add a fabric softener sheet after the cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to spot fabrics.

l

l

Clear, grease-like spots can result from the fabric softener sheet becoming tangled in an item during tumbling. If fabric softener causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with liquid detergent or bar soap, rewash.

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

Saving energy

lUse Automatic drying for most loads. l Dry only full loads without overdrying.

l Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to a partly dried load, or opening the door unnecessarily.

lPlan your laundry to dry one load after another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.

Vacation care

1.Unplug power supply cord or turn off electrical power supply.

2.Clean lint screen.

l Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer properly and cleaning exhaust duct and outside exhaust hood as needed.

-Keep the lint screen clean.

-Use your dryer in a room where room air temperature is above 45°F (7°C).

-Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
