Mixed loads

When drying a load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the cycle suggested for the lightest fab- rics When the dryer stops, remove dry items and reset the control.

To help reduce wrinkling, take the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is very

important for permanent press, knits and other synthetic

fabrics.

DO NOT OVERDRY. Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling, and can damage some fabrics.
