Loading to Dry
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the wash, they are sorted properly for the dry cycle. Try also to
sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce
®
Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this unit when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
