PREPARING THE LAUNDRY
For best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Most importantly, you should follow the care label instructions (see page 9). Below are some suggestions on how to best sort your laundry for drying:
♦Permanent press items should be dried together. For the most
♦Dry heavy fabrics together and lightweight fabrics together.
♦Dry fabrics that shed lint (chenille, terry cloth, etc.) separately from fabrics that collect lint (synthetics, velveteen, corduroy, etc.).
♦Separate
♦If the care label says "Wash Separately," the fabric is likely to lose color (excess dye) for the first few washings. To minimize the possibility of the dye transferring to white or lighter colored items, dry new colored garments with items of similar color or alone. Bright reds and oranges on cottons are the dyes most likely to transfer colors.
NOTE: Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” on page 3 for a list of specific materials that should never be put in a tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT:
Metal items (coins, nails, etc.) left in pockets, sharp buckles or similar items could damage the drum. Remove any items of this kind before loading the dryer.
FABRIC SOFTENERS AND DRYER SHEETS
We recommend using a liquid fabric softener in the washer’s rinse cycle. We do not recommend using fabric softener sheets in the dryer. Over time, the chemicals on these sheets can build up inside the lint filter and clog the holes that circulate the air.
