setting, to provide gentle drying for some synthetics, knits, and delicate fabrics.

Using Heavy Dry

Use Heavy Dry and a high heat setting to dry large items or items that are thicker or heavier than regular load items (heavy cotton bath sheets or robes).

NOTES: To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

Do not overdry. Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling, and damage some fabrics.
