Using dryer fabric softeners

,_

Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling (static can also be re- duced by not overdrying) and for softening fabrics. Always follow package instructions carefully.

lPut fabric softener sheet on top of the load before starting 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

Clear, greasei-like spots can result from the fabric softenlr sheet becoming tangled in an item during tllmbling. If fabric softener causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with liquid deterglllnt or bar soap, rewash.

Some fabric :;ofteners can clog the lint screen and I, ow drying. Use fabric softeners labeled as dr /er safe.
