• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not
be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached
the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose

• If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as
one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item
will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has
reached the selected dryness level.
• For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light
weight items separately.
