Loading Hints
•Avoid drying very small loads.
•Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slower drying items.
•Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. This may cause fabric softener stains.
•Do not overload. This causes inefficient operation and unnecessary wrinkling. Clothes need to tumble freely.
•Do not dry the following items:
•Fiberglass items
•Woolens
•Rubber coated items
•Plastics
•Items with plastic trim
