Setting the Drying Temperature

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

A High Heavy temperature setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A Low Delicate to Medium Casual temperature setting may be used for drying medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

Use the Air Fluff (no heat) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.
