GENERAL

SUGGESTIONS

FOR GOOD RESULTS

An average size washer load is usually a

dryer load Items that are washed together can generally be dried together Consult care label before drying

[,I_CAUTION] Remove all items from garments and fabrics to be dried, such as facial tissues, matches, crayons, nails, safety pins or any metallic or hard objects which might damage clothes or appliance

Close zippers, empty pockets, fasten

hooks and eyes to prevent snagging.

* Put socks and other smail items in mesh bag for easier removal.

, Items to be ironed should be removed while slightly damp

Put damp dry items together in one load

If drying sheer items, start with a cold drum

If' drying only a few items, add a bath

towel or twO to maintain proper tumbling action

If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet

Remove and fold or hang clothes quickly to prevent wrinkling

Do not overload dryer Clothes must have room to tumble and billow.

• Clothes (except permanent press) should be removed while they feel slightly damp If they are absolutely dry to touch, they are too dry; over- drying increases wrinkling and shrink- age, and wastes heat

I'o test for dryness, take garment out of dryer and feel it in room tempera- ture air Clothes will feel damper in warm, moist air of dryer drum than they will in room air

When using Iimed cycle, set mini- mum time shown on Control Settings

Chart (page 10).

refreshing corduroy, woolens, and

velveteen skirts, jackets, slacks or blouses. Follow these directions:
