Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling and for softening fabrics. Always follow package instructions carefully.
l Put one fabric softener sheet on top of the load before start- ing the dryer. Do not add a fabric softener sheet after the cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to spot fabrics.
l
l
Remove fabric softener stains by wetting the stains and rubbing them with liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash. Some fabric softeners can clog the lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric soften- ers labeled as dryer safe.
Saving energy
l Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads. l Dry only full loads without overdrying.
. Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to a partly dried load, or opening the door unnecessarily.
l Plan your laundry to dry one load after another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
l Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer properly and cleaning exhaust duct and outside exhaust hood as needed.
