FABRIC CARE
NOTE:
Refer to the Fabric Care Chart on page 15 for commonly used fabric care
symbols.
NOTE:
Always remove the laundry load from the dryer as soon as possible.
• For optimum results, load the dryer with cloths of similar fabric, weight and
construction.
• Check for stains that may not have been removed in washing. The dryer heat may
permanently set some stains.
• Separate dark and light colored items, like you do when washing laundry.
• DRYING TlME: The drying time depends on many factors, such as the type of fabric.
ln addition, the drying duration is dependent on how dry you want the laundry to
be when taken out of the dryer.
• DRYER ADDED FABRIC SOFTENERS: Certain dryer added fabric softeners may
cause damage to automatic dryers. Therefore, only use fabric softeners with written
assurance from the manufacturer that their softeners can safely be used in your
dryer.
• SINGLE ITEMS: Use the timed drying mode when there is only one item to be dried.
This is because the moisture sensor in the automatic drying mode may disable the
heating element too early in the cycle, thereby failing to adequately dry the garment.
• OVERDRYING GARMENTS: When using the timed drying mode, it is possible to
overdry the garments, especially if the timer has been set too long. This can cause
the fabrics to wrinkle, shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic materials can also become
charged with static electricity.
