Using dryer fabric softener sheets
Dryer fabric softener sheets are recom-
mended for reducing static cling and for
softening fabrics. Always use fabric softener
sheets labeled as dryer safe and follow
package instructions carefully.
•
Put one fabric softener sheet on top of
the load before starting the
dryer. Do not add a fabric
softener sheet after the drying
cycle has started. Instant heat
can cause the fabric softener
to spot fabrics.
Saving energy
•
Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.
•
Dry only full loads without overdrying.
•
Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items
to a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
•
Plan your laundry to dry one load
after another. A warm dryer shortens
drying time.

•
Remove fabric softener stains by wetting
the stains and rubbing them with liquid
detergent or bar soap and rewash.
•
Some fabric softener sheets can clog the
lint screen and slow drying if used repeat-
edly. Use fabric softener sheets only once.
Remember to remove the sheet with
the load.
•
Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer
properly and cleaning exhaust duct and
outside exhaust hood as needed.
– Keep the lint screen clean.
– Use your dryer in a room where room air
temperature is above 45°F (7°C).
– Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
