normal due to weakening of fibers by the Permanent Press process• It is not caused by
washer• You can slow this process by washing small Permanent Press loads with a Full
Water Level• Do not wash heavy items such as towels with Permanent Press• Remove
collar stays, when possible•
• Roughness or burrs on agitator may cause rips or tears• Check agitator and file rough
spots if necessary.
