Washable knlts
Dry according to fabric, weight and care label instructions. Wipe the dryer
drum carefully to remove any dye or lint that can be transferred to other
loads. See “Cleaning the dryer interior” on page 16.
Select cycle according to fabric type. Some towels, particularly those
made of a blend of synthetic fibers and natural fibers (polyester and
cotton blends), may shed more lint than other towels, causing your dryer’s
lint screen to get full faster. Be sure to remove lint from the dryer lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
Do not overdry knits. Overdrying can cause shrinking and static cling.
1. Select cycle according to fabric and construction.
2. Turn synthetics and blends inside out when drying to avoid pilling.
1 3. Remove cotton and rayon knits while still slightly damp. Stretch into
shape and lay flat to finish drying.
Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for
reducing static cling (static can also be re-
duced by not overdrying) and for softening
fabrics. Always follow package instructions
carefully.
l Put fabric softener sheet on top of the load
before starting the dryer. Do not add a
fabric softener sheet after the cycle has
started. Instant heat can cause the fabric
softener to spot fabrics.
l Clear, grease-like spots can result from the
fabric softener sheet becoming tangled in an
item during tumbling. If fabric softener
causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with
liquid detergent or bar soap, rewash.
l Some fabric softeners can clog the lint
screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners
labeled as dryer safe.
Saving energy
l Use Automatic drying for most loads.
l Dry only full loads without overdrying.
l Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to
a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
l Plan your laundry to dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
l 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 45°F (7°C).
-Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
