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.)

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.
[ACAUTION] Remove all items
from garments and fabrics to be
dried, suc'_as facial tissues,
matches, crayons, nails, 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 otlaer small items in
mesh bag for easier removal.
• Item.,; to be ironed should be
removed.while slightly damp.
• Put damp dry item.,; 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 beremoved 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

cause buildup of softener in
clothing, giving a greasy feeling.
Buildup can also form on lint screen
and restrict airflow. Softener build-
up on lint screen 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.
[_kWARNING] 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 ofdryer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious per-.
sonal injury.

draperies and slipcovers, fluff
decorative pillows, and freshen
clothes that have been stored in
mothbails or in a "stale" closet.
