~PORTANT
SMETY N~~
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these substances,
namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP
fuels. ProperIy adjusted dryers will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
be minimized further by properly
venting the dryers to the outdoors.

Sp&ial Instructions
Do not dry non-colorfast items with whites or light-colored items.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops; place clothes on hangers to
minimize wrinkling.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops, place clothes on hangers to
minimize wrinkling.
Dry
silks and wools in your dryer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
Tumble drying is mandatory. Down must be thoroughly dried to remove odor and prevent mildewing.
Place two large, dry towels in the
dryer to improve tumbling and shorten drying time. Be sure to dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT. If children’s sleepwear is made of
Modacrylic, tumble dry only on Low/Knits temperature. Normal Heat can damage these
fabrics. Check manufacturer’s drying instructions.
See above instructions.
Place in dryer with 3 or 4 dry
towels which have been heated for 5 minutes. Set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not set control for more than
25 minutes. Do only one blanket at a time. Remove blanket at end of cycle and block blanket back to original shape. Press binding with warm
iron.
Allow to dry before storing.
Use dry towels as buffers. Set timer for 20 minutes. If items are still wet, reset for 15 minutes and check again. Items should be removed while
still damp. Place slipcovers on furniture immediately. Hang draperies and curtains so that creases will fall out. Stop dryer periodically and check
filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Tumble dry on No Heat setting as heat may cause alteration in shape, color and appearance of such articles.
Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Specialprecautions must be taken to dry extra-large items. Set dryer for 20minutes then check carefilly. Set 15 minutes for second setting, check
again; and 5 minutes for each additional setting. Make sure that article does not
fill drum. Many large articles, when wet, have ample room in
dryer, but as they dry and fluff up may not have room to tumble. Check carefully every few minutes and if article is still wet or damp and fills
dryer, finish drying on line. Do not, under any circumstances operate dryer for longer times without checking. CAUTION: If large items do not
have room to tumble, the air flow maybe blocked which
could result in scorching your valuable items. Many large items, like shag rugs, cannot
be dried in home size dryers. DO
N~tumble dryjacke?s containing Kapok. (See filter cleaning instructions above.)
Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. Dry no more than one
pillow at a time and set dryer for maximum
time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillows to redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillows at end of drying time. If they are not
‘“ completely dry, return them to dryer and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried completely to prevent
nildewing. DO N~tumble dry pillows containing tipok.

Q Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is ducted in accordance with Installation
Instructions.
● Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction;
make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible ducting is used, be
sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to Installation Instructions.
● Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit breakers.
Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer
still tumble without heat.
● Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.
● Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to
remove moisture.
● Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
. Rela~tion shrinkage
can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched
and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into
shape
a~r each wash and dry cycle.
*Progressive
or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is
gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that
have been
launded mmy times without previous shrinkage. Tmt as for Relaxation S- above.
● Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heat-
shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to
shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by
washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
● Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang
them immediately.
o Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.
● Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar articles, even
if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
● Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as work clothes,
with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not wash or dry
Permanent Press with regular laundry.
● Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent Press
loads should always be smaller than regular loads..
.no more than medium loads.
o Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle which provides
a cool-down rinse to minimize
wrintiing. Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.
● Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium level or half full
for small load.
