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.

• 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

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.
