Sort by Surface Texture

LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.

LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract
lint. These must be dried separately.

Sort by Fabric

Separate

In addition
sorting to reduce
lint collection, we
recommend that you
wash fabrics of similar
construction together
whenever possible.

Sort by Color

For information on tumble drying extra
items and different fabrics and loads, see the
Controls Setting Guide.

HOW TO LOAD THE CLOTHES

Don’t overload your dryer.

Crowded loads don’t dry
efficiently and clothes may
be unnecessarily wrinkled.

Loads should look like this:

Drum with /

Cottons & Linens

Permanent Press Load
