 FOR YOUR DRYER

● 

Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to

run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, 
drying items.

● 

Do not overload dryer. The drum should be no more

than half full of wet articles. For efficient drying,
clothes need to tumble freely. Overloading prolongs
drying time and produces 

uneven 

● 

Use Automatic 

 Cycle whenever possible

to help prevent 

 and save energy.

● 

To help prevent ironing, remove garments

immediately at end of drying-cycle and place
on hangers.

● 

Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. 

 a

“warm” dryer will save energy.

● 

Clean lint filter each time you dry.

● 

Clean dryer exhaust 

 at least once a year. A

partially clogged exhaust can lengthen drying time.
