Glass fiber
Do not dry glass fiber items in dryer unless recommended by the manufacturer. Small
glass particles left in the drum can be picked up by the next load. These particles may
cause skin irritation.
Always consult fabric care labels before drying. For items without labels, follow the suggested settings
below. The suggested drying times are approximate. Actual time needed will vary depending on size of
load, weight, and type of fabrics.
Items dried in a dryer operating on a 208 volt circuit instead of a 240 volt circuit require 20 percent more
drying time than the chart listing.
