Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape.
DRY ONLY ONE PILLOW AT A TIME. Set dryer for maximum time. Stop
dryer occasionally and shake pillow to redistribute filling for more even drying.
Check pillow at end of drying time—if not completely dry, return pillow to dryer
and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried
completely to prevent mildew. DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing kapok.
Put 2 or 4 dry towels into the dryer; tumble dry for 5 minutes. Set timer for
20-25 minutes. DO NOT set control for more than 25 minutes. DRY ONLY
ONE BLANKET AT A TIME. Remove blanket at the end of the cycle and
block the blanket back to its original shape. Allow to dry thoroughly
before storing.
First setting—20 minutes; check and redistribute load. Then set timer for
15 minutes; check load again. Reset timer at 5 minute intervals, checking
after each 5 minutes to make sure that the articles do not fill the dryer drum:
many large articles, when wet, have ample room in the dryer, but as they
dry and fluff up, they may not have room to tumble. CAUTION: If large
items do not have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked, which
could result in scorching your valuable items. NOTE: Mattress covers/pads
should be dried
