heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural,

and heavier items take longer to dry.

• Heavyfabricstakelongertodrybecausetheytend

to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain

more consistent drying times for large and heavy

fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of

a consistent size.

load you are drying.

• Makesurethelintlteriscleanedbeforeeveryload.

With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it

may be necessary to clean the ﬁ lter during the cycle.

while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

• Removeitemsfromthedryerimmediatelyattheendof

the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to continue

tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.

• Toavoidshrinkage,pleasecarefullyfollowthefabric

care instructions for your garment, because some

fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics

can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use

a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY option.
