Before Drying
Energy Saving Tips
• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Do not overdry items.
• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently. However,
dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric being dried.
• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as short and straight
as possible.
• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days; your clothes will
dry faster.
• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after another so dryer
interior does not have to be reheated for each load.
Helps and Hints
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or
death, clothes which have traces of any flammable
substances such as cooking oil, machine oil, flamma-
ble chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into the
dryer.
W131
• The directions for installation and proper exhausting are given
in the Installation Instructions which are included with the dry-
er.
• Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as
in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are overdried. The
use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the washer,
or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and
reduce static electricity.
• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load with
permanent press or knit garments.
• Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer stops.
• Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT, SCOTCH-
GUARD
™
, etc., garments for proper washing and drying.
• If loads should be damp for ironing, use the Damp Dryness set-
ting, in an Automatic cycle.
Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for washing, they should be
properly sorted for drying too.
1.
Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics. Towels,
flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Corduroys, knits
(including socks), permanent press, and synthetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than heavy-
weight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such as sheets
and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry to
prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best method is to dry clothes
which require the same time, temperature or dryness level in the
same load.

Load
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or
cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and
may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
W527
• Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines the
load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause discoloration
or permanent heat damage to the load.
• There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tumble
freely and help to reduce wrinkles.
• Large and small pieces together make up loads which will tumble
well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to provide room
for tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer wrinkles.
• A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will not tumble
properly. They will take longer to dry and they may be wrinkled.
For small loads, add a couple of large towels or non lint shedding
items to aid in tumbling.
• The following illustrations show the ideal load sizes for fabrics.
The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half full when
wet.
