LAUNDRY TIPS
Using dryer fabric softener sheets
Dryer fabric softener sheets are recom- mended for reducing static cling and for softening fabrics. Always use fabric softener sheets labeled as dryer safe and follow package instructions carefully.
•Put one fabric softener sheet on top of the load before starting the
dryer. Do not add a fabric
softener sheet after the drying cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener
to spot fabrics.
•Remove fabric softener stains by wetting the stains and rubbing them with liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash.
•Some fabric softener sheets can clog the lint screen and slow drying if used repeat- edly. Use fabric softener sheets only once. Remember to remove the sheet with
the load.
Saving energy
•Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.
•Dry only full loads without overdrying.
•Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to a partly dried load, or opening the door unnecessarily.
•Plan your laundry to dry one load after another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
•Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer properly and cleaning exhaust duct and outside exhaust hood as needed.
