1. Prepare items for drying.
•
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.
•
Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed
lint from those that attract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out.
•
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the
drum finish. Close zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners.
Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
•
If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.
•
Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer
heat may permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process
before drying.
•
Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy
removal.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer.
•
The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
Do not overload
dryer.
•
When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with
small and medium sized items.
•
For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying,
less wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener
sheets.
•
Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage,
harshness, and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more
lint.
•
If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door and select the cycle, temperature,
dryness level, options and features desired.
