CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
Remove items while there is still a trace
of moisture. Some items should be
removed while damp, then shaped and

returns them to the original size. This is
normal. Check quality of garment
before buying. Follow fabric care label
dire&ions carefully.

moisture in the load to be dried
Cold rinse water is used

others (cottons more than polyester).

longer to dry than small bads of the
same fabric.
A bad rinsed in cold water will take
slightly bnger to dry than a warm one.
Cold rinses, however, help save energy
and reduce wrinkling more than warm
rinses do.
Room air temperature is Mow
Install dryer in a room where the air
45°F (7°C) temperature is warmer than 45°F (7°C).
Cob air increases drying time and may
cause wrinkles not to be removed.
