Using dryer fabric softener sheets
Dryer fabric softener sheets are recom-
mended for reducing static cling and for
softening fabrics. Always use fabric softener
sheets labeled as dryer safe and follow
package instructions carefully.
• Put one fabric softener sheet on top of
the load before starting the
dryer. Do not add a fabric
softener sheet after the drying
cycle has started. Instant heat
can cause the fabric softener
to spot fabrics.
Saving energy
• Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.
• Dry only full loads without overdrying.
• Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items
to a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
• Plan your laundry to dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
LAUNDRY TIPS
• Remove fabric softener stains by wetting
the stains and rubbing them with liquid
detergent or bar soap and rewash.
• Some fabric softener sheets can clog the
lint screen and slow drying if used repeat-
edly. Use fabric softener sheets only once.
Remember to remove the sheet with
the load.
• Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer
properly and cleaning exhaust duct and
outside exhaust hood as needed.
–Keep the lint screen clean.
–Use your dryer in a room where room air
temperature is above 7°C (45°F).
–Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
