Pillows

Mend any holes or weak seams where feather or filling could 
escape. Dry only one pillow at a time. Stop dryer occasionally and
shake pillow, redistributing filling for even drying. Check pillow 
at the end of drying time. If it is not completely dry, reset dryer
for more drying time.
Dry on low heat only.

CAUTION: 

Do not dry pillows containing foam rubber.

Blankets

Add 2–4 dry towels and one blanket and set timer for 20–25 minutes. 
Dry only one blanket at a time. Do not set control for more than 25
minutes. At the end of drying cycle block the blanket back to its 
original shape. Allow blanket to dry thoroughly before storing.

Cotton 

Use a medium heat drying setting.

Synthetic 

Use a low heat drying setting.

Down 

Use a low heat drying setting.

Extra Large Items

Use a low heat drying setting.
Set dryer for 20 minutes. When time is up, check and redistribute
load. Reset dryer for 15 minutes. When time is up, check and 
redistribute load. Reset timer for 5 minute intervals. Check after 
each 5 minutes to ensure articles do not fill dryer drum. Large, wet 
articles should have ample room in the dryer, but as they dry and 
fluff up they may not have room to tumble. 

CAUTION:

Items without room to tumble may block air flow and 

could result in scorched items. Dry mattress pads separately. Use 
a low heat drying setting.
