CAUSES’SOLUllONS

Remove items while there is still a trace of moisture. Some items should be removed while damp, then shaped and air dried.

Some knits are stretched during manufacturing. Washing and drying returns them to the original size. This is normal. Check quality of garment before buying. Follow fabric care label direc- tions carefully.

Some items hold more moisture than others (cottons more than polyester). They take bnger to dry. Full loads take longer to dry than small loads of the same fabric.

A load rinsed in cold water will take slightly bnger to dry than a warm one. CoM rinses, however, help save energy and reduce wrinkling more than warm rinses do.

Install dryer in a room where the air temperature is warmer than 45°F (7°C). Cold air increases drying time and may cause wrinkles not to be removed.

Install and exhaust your dryer accord- ing to the Installation Instructions provided.

Clean lint screen before or after each use.

Clean if needed.

Properly connect the dryer to a grounded electrical circuit that meets the electrical requirements stated in the Installation Instructions.

Remove items while there is still a trace of moisture.

Use fabric softener and folbw package directions carefully.

Synthetics, synthetic blends, permanent press and knits build up static electriciiy. Use a fabric softener and be careful not to overdry the bad.
