down the load for easier handling and to reduce wnnkling.
Drying times
Drying times will vary depending on:
l amount of moisture in the clothes.
l type and weight of the fabric.
l size of the load.
l room temperature around the
dryer.
See page 6 in your”Dryer Guide”
for more information.
To help reduce wrinkling, take
the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is very
important for permanent press,
knits and other synthetic
fabrics.
Mixed loads
When drying a load with different
kinds and weights of fabrics, use the
cycle suggested for the lightest fab-
rics When the dryer stops, remove
dry items and reset the control.
DO NOT OVERDRY. Overdrying
can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and can damage some
fabrics.
