Drying Tips
CONSULT CARE LABELS BEFORE DRYING ARTICIL.ES
DRY PRACTICALLY
ANY FABRIC
Generally fabrics that can be
washed in the Kenmore Laundry
Center can be dried in the Kenmore
Laundry Center.
Washables not recommended for
dryer: loosely woven or hand-
knitted woolens and some rayons
and silks. (Check care label. See
warnings below.)
Be sure plastic buttons: and buckles
are heat-proof.
When using delicate and permanent
press fabrics,-check for dryness
after minimum time suggested.
If various types of fabrics are mixed
in drying load, set controls for
lighter weight fabrics and remove
when dry. Reset temperature for
remaining fabrics.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR GOOD RESULTS
An average size washer load is
usually a dryer load. Items that are
washed together can generally be
dried together. Consult care label
before drying.
'_kCAUTION] Remove all items
flom garments and fabrics to be
dried, such as=_facial tissues,
matches, crayons, oails, safety pins
or any metallic or hard objects
which might damage clothes or ap-
pliance.
• Close zippers, empty pockets,
fasten hooks and eyes to prevent
snagging.
• Put socks and other .small items in
mesh bag for easier removal.
• Items to be ironed should be
removed while slightly damp.
• Put damp dt:y items together in
one load.
• If drying sheer items',, start with a
cold drum.
• If drying only a few items, add a
bath towel or two to maintain
proper tumbling action.
• If desired, add a dryer fabric
softener sheet.
• Remove and fold or hang clothes
quickly to prevent wrinkling.
• Do not overload dryer. Clothes
must have room to tumble and
billow.
• Clothes (except permanent press)
should be removed while they feel
slightly damp. If they are
absolutely dry to touch, they are
too ,dry; over-drying increases
wrinkling and shrinkage, and
wastes heat.
• To test for dryness, take garment
out of dryer and feel it in room
temperature air. Clothes will feel
damper in warm, moist air of
dryer drum than they will in room
air.
• When using TIMED cycle, set
minimum time shown on Control
Settings Chart (page 10).
USE OF FABRIC
SOFTENER SHEETS
Over use of fabric softener can
cause buildup of softener in
clothing, giving a greasy feeling.
Buildup can also form on lint screen
and restrict airflow. Softener build-
up on Lintscreen can be removed by
washing in warm soapy water.
Buildup in clothing can be removed
by:
• Reconditioning load with water
conditioner (follow package in-
structions),
or
• Laundering several times without
using fabric softener.
_W_AR..__iJN__G_Fluorocarbon aero-
sol spray or pump fabric softeners
are not to be used in this dryer.
Damage resulting from use of this
type of softener can be considered
as misuse of dryer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
IAIR FLUFF
Use Air Fluff to air bedding, dust
draperies anct slipcovers, fluff
decorative pillows, and freshen
clothes that have been stored in
mothballs or !n a "stale" closet.
Also use for safe drying of plastic
and extra-sensitive sheer fabrics.
• Place items in dryer.
• Set dryer timer to the last 20
minutes of Knits/Delicate cycle
which provides no heat on Air
Fluff setting.
Foam S,houlder Pads
Feather or Foam Pillow
[_kWARNING] To prevent fire, do
not use heat to dry articles contain-
ing plastic, foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or
pillows and clc,thing with feathers/
down.
USE THE DI:IYER
AS A VAL.E']"
The Kenmore Laundry Center is
wonderful for steaming out wrinkles
and refreshing corduroy, woolens,
and velveteen _kirts, jackets, slacks
or blouses. Follow these directions:
• Place garments in dryer with one
or two s]ligtttly dampened bath
towels.
• Select proper cycle for garments.
• Select 30minutes o]_ heat'and let
clothes tumble. Steam from
towels will "press" clothes.
• After 15-2.0minutes (before dryer
stops tumblirtg), remove garments
and fold or place on hangers.
