Special laundry tips
Please follow the care label or manufacturer’s instructions for drying special
items. If care label instructions are not available, use the following information as
a guide.
Bedspreads & Comforters • Follow the care label instructions or dry using the Bedding cycle.
• Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
• May require repositioning to ensure even drying.
Blankets • Use the Normal cycle and dry only one blanket at a time for best
tumbling action.
• Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
Curtains & Draperies • Use the Perm Press cycle and medium temperature to help minimize
wrinkling.
• Dry these in small loads for best results and remove as soon as
possible.
Cloth Diapers • Use the Normal cycle and the High temperature settings for soft,
fluy diapers.
Down–filled Items (jackets,
sleeping bags, comforters,
etc.)
• Use the Normal cycle and medium temperature setting.
• Adding a couple of dry towels shortens drying time and absorbs
moisture.
Foam Rubber (rug backs,
stued toys, shoulder pads,
etc.)
• DO NOT dry on a heat setting. Use the Air Flu cycle (no heat.
DV456* only).
• WARNING – Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or create
a fire hazard.
Pillows • Use the Normal cycle.
• Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the
tumbling action and to flu the items.
• DO NOT dry kapok or foam pillows in the dryer. You can dry these
items in the dryer only if you use the Air Flu cycle.
Plastics (shower curtains,
outdoor furniture covers,
etc.)
• Use the Air Flu cycle or the Time Dry cycle and the Low or Extra
Low temperature settings depending on the care label instructions.
THINGS TO AVOID PUTTING IN THE DRYER :
• Fiberglass items (curtains, draperies, etc.).
• Woolens, unless recommended on the label.
• Items spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils.
