Laundry Tips

This section provides information on preparing clothes for drying, drying guidelines, and instructions for drying special-care items.

NOTES:

•Refer to your Washer Use and Care Guide for proper washing techniques and additional laundry tips.

•See pages 3 and 4 of this book for Important Safety Information.

Sorting clothes

• Separate dark from light colors; colorfast

properly sorted for washing are usually properly sorted for

from non-colorfast. Items drying.

•Separate heavy fabrics (denim, towels) from light fabrics (synthetics, permanent press).

•Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, perma-

nent press). When possible, turn lint takers inside out.

Choosing load sizes

•Mix large items with smaller 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).

•'Youmay 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.

Drying tips

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

heat-sensitive trim that can be

damaged by drying. Tie strings

i_nagging other items. Remove and sashes so they will not

tangle.

•Check garments to make sure all spots and stains were removed during the wash. Do not tumble dry soiled or stained items. Heat may permanently set stains.

•Sharp or metal objects can damage your dryer. Check pockets for pins, clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects on your dryer after emptying

pockets. Turn pockets of heavy items inside out for even drying.

•Place small items such as baby socks or hankies in a mesh bag for easier removal.

•Articles to be ironed should be removed from the dryer while still damp.
