Towels

 

Select cycle according to fabric

type. Some towels, particularly

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.

 

 

Washable

knlts

Do not overdry

knits. Overdrying

can cause shrinking and static

cling.

1.Select cycle according to fabric and construction.

2.Turn synthetics and blends inside out when drying to avoid pilling.

3.Remove cotton and rayon knits while still slightly damp. Stretch into shape and lay flat to finish drying.

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 startlng 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

l

l

l

Dry only full loads without overdrying.

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

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

l Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer properly and cleaning exhaust duct 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.

Vacation care

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

2.Clean lint screen.
