Sorting Fabrics
For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (chenille
and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics, flannel and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen
and corduroy). Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from light weight fabrics
and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.
Do not tumble dry
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment’s care label says “Drip Dry”, Line Dry” or “Dry
Flat”, do not dry in the dryer. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated,
while others may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble dried are:
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• Wool (unless the garment’s manufacturer recommends it)
• Fiberglass
• Laminated or rubber coated items
• Vinyl or plastic
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Drying Time
Drying time depends on many factors, such as the amount of washing, how damp it is, the type of fabrics, rated
power of the machine and the temperature of the room. It also, of course, depends on how dry you want the
washing when you take it out of the machine.
Shrinkage
Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink. Do not use the extra dry program for these materials, and always
stretch them out directly after drying.
Dryer Added Fabric Softeners
Because some dryer added fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic dryers, use only ones that the
manufacturers give a written assurance that their softeners can safely be used in your dryer.
Single Items
Use the timed program when there is only one item to be dried. This is because the automatic program may turn
off the heating too early, so that the item is not properly dried.
If The Washing Is Not Dry After Tumble-Drying
When using the automatic programs, it can happen that not all of the washing is properly dry. This may be due
