Before Drying...
Energy Saving Tips
•Make sure the lint filter is cleaned after each load.
•Do not overload the dryer.
•Do not overdry items.
•Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently. However, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
•Use the correct FABRIC SELECTOR setting for the type of fabric being dried.
•Locateyour dryer so the exhaust duct is as short and
straight as possible.
•Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
•Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days; your clothes will dry faster.
Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after another so dryer interior does not have to be reheated for each load.
Helps and Hints
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or death, clothes which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into the dryer.
Regular or *Untreated Clothes A properly sorted wash load is generally a dryer load. In both washing and drying, the bulk or volume of clothes, rather than pounds, will determine the load size. The dryer cylinder is large and is designed to dry a large or average load at maximum
efficiency. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE DRYER
Dryer cylinder one third to one half full of wet clothes.
Loads consisting of several small pieces only, such as knit shorts or
diapers, do not tumble well and may require longer drying time which could result in excessive wrinkling. Add several towels to aid tumbling. Large and small items together make the best load for the dryer.
For the most even drying, fabrics in a load should be of similar
weight. If mixed loads are dried, remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry. Avoid overdrying to prevent harshness of fabdcs, wrinkling, and possible
shrinkage.
Clothing loads must be cooled properly at the end of the drying cycle. Do not remove them from dryer until it has gone through
*Treated clothes are those items that will be labeled =FLAME RETARDANT," =SCOTCH-
GUARD", TM etc. Follow the CARE LABELS on these garments for the proper washing and drying.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
These toads will require the
following special treatment to get the best results from their
=no-iron" properties.
Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are
overdried. The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse
water of the washer will soften clothes and reduce static
electricity.
Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load
with permanent press or knit garments.
Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer
stops.
Exhaust System
--& WARNING
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire, serious injury or death, the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.
Do not use plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.
The necessary suggestions and directions for installation
and proper exhausting are given in the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS which are included with the dryer.
The exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically to remove any obstructions.
Check occasionally to make
sure the flapper on the weather hood moves freely, is not
pushed in and that nothing has been set against it. Also check that the flapper is not standing
open. If it is open, leaves or even snow could restdct it. Any restriction of the air from the
dryer will decrease drying efficiency.
