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.
