This section provides information on preparing clothes for drying, drying guidelines, and instructions for drying
NOTES:
•Refer to your Washer Use and Care Guide for proper washing techniques and additional laundry tips.
•See pages 3 and 4 of this book for Important Safety Information.
Sorting clothes
•Separate dark from light colours; colour-
fast from 
are usually properly sorted 
for drying.
•Separate heavy fabrics (denim, towels) from light fabrics (synthetics, permanent press).
•Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, perma- nent press). When possible, turn lint takers inside out.
Choosing load sizes
•Mix large items with smaller items. Load
the dryer by the amount of
space items take up, not by
their weight. Do not overload
the dryer. Overcrowding causes uneven drying and
wrinkling, and can cause items to wear out faster (because of pilling).
•You may need to rearrange large items (sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a cycle to reduce balling or rolling up.
•For better tumbling action, when drying only a few small items, add one or two
Drying tips
•Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove
•Check garments to make sure all spots and stains were removed during the wash. Do not tumble dry soiled or stained items. Heat may permanently set stains.
•Sharp or metal objects can damage your dryer. Check pockets for pins,
clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects on
your dryer after emptying pockets. Turn pockets of
heavy items inside out for even drying.
•Place small items such as baby socks or hankies in a mesh bag for easier removal.
•Articles to be ironed should be removed from the dryer while still damp.
