Some items hold more moisture than others (cottons more than
polyester). They take longer to dry. Full loads take longer to dry than
small loads of the same fabric. Low washer-spin speeds (recommended
for permanent press and lmits) remove less moisture than high-spin
speeds.

one. Cold 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 or

temperatures are lower than in older models. The cool-down time at
the end of each drying cycle helps reduce wrinkling and makes clothes
easier to handle, but it may take longer to dry than you are used to.
Remove items while there is still a trace of moisture.
Use a “less dry” setting if your dryer has an automatic dryness sensor.
