CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Sorting Fabrics
For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (chenille and terry cloth) from the
lint collectors (synthetics, flannel and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and corduroy).
Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from light weight fabrics.
Do not tumble dry
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label says "Drip Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the
dryer. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose their shape. Other
items that should not be tumble dried are:
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• Wool (unless the garment's manufacturer recommends it)
• Fiberglass
• Laminated or rubber coated items
• Vinyl or plastic
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Drying Time
Drying time depends on many factors, such as the amount of washing items, how damp it is, the type of fabrics, and the
temperature of the room. It also, depends on how dry you want when you take them out of the machine.
Shrinkage
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to shrink. Do not use the extra dry program for these materials, and always stretch
them out directly after drying.
Fabric Softeners
Because fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic dryers, use only those with a written assurance that their
softeners can safely be used in your dryer.
Single Item
Use the timed program when there is only one item to be dried. This is because the automatic program may turn off the
heating too early, so that the item is not properly dried.
Dry Properly
When using the automatic program, it happens that not all items are properly dried. This may be due to such reasons as
very heavy fabrics or thick seams. To dry these items, give a further 10 minutes or so in the timed program. Also do not
overload the dryer.
Do not over-dry
When using the timed program, it is possible to over-dry fabrics, if time has been set for too long. This can cause the
fabrics to wrinkle, shrink or feel harsh. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static electricity.
