***Extra Large Items-
Queen or King size
sheets; Blankets or
Spreads; Mattress
Covers/Pads;
Snowsuits.
Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. DRY ONLY ONE
PILLOW AT A TIME. Set dryer for maximum time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillow to
redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillow at end of drying time – if not completely dry,
return pillow to dryer and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be
dried completely to prevent mildew. DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing kapok.
Add 2 or 4 dry towels to the blanket in the dryer. Set timer for 20-25 minutes. DO NOT set control
for more than 25 minutes. DRY ONLY ONE BLANKET AT A TIME. Remove blanket at the end of
the cycle and block the blanket back to its original shape. Allow to dry thoroughly before storing.
First setting – 20 minutes; check and redistribute load. Then set timer for 15 minutes; check load
again. Reset timer at 5 minute intervals, checking after each 5 minutes to make sure that the articles
do not fill the dryer drum; many large items,when wet, have ample room in the dryer, but as they
dry and fluff up, they may not have room to tumble. CAUTION:If large items do not have room to
tumble, the air flow may be blocked,which could result in scorch ing your valuable items. NOTE:
Mattress cover/pads should be dried alone.
