Before Drying Energy Saving Tips • Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT, SCOTCH- GUARD™, etc., garments for the proper washing and drying. • Make sure the lint filter is always clean. • If loads should be damp for ironing, turn timer knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting, marked with a dot (•), in AUTOMATIC or TIME DRY cycles. • Do not overload the dryer. • Do not overdry items. • Remove items to be ironed while still damp. • Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently.
Load • The following illustrations show the ideal load sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half full when wet. WA R N I N G Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself. W527 • Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause discoloration or permanent heat damage to the load.
Drying Special Items Type of Load Bedspreads Special Instructions • • • • • Choose heat for fabric. Dry one double or two single spreads. Chenille and tufted spreads will shed lint and should be dried by themselves. New spreads will contain loose lint. Tumble on NO HEAT Fabric Selector setting before washing to remove loose lint. Dry completely. Blankets Electric • • • • Choose DELICATE or NO HEAT Fabric Selector setting. If drying items in dryer is recommended by the manufacturer, dry as for wool.
Type of Load Draperies Knit Articles Special Instructions • • • • Remove hooks and weights before washing. Choose heat for fabric and allow space in the dryer for tumbling. Some draperies may be removed when slightly damp and hung immediately. Lined draperies should be dry-cleaned because they have a tendency to pucker. Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed from them.
Type of Load Mattress Pads Special Instructions • • • Read and carefully follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the mattress pad manufacturer. Some mattress pads made of synthetic fibers are very heat sensitive. These pads can be flammable if over-heated or over-dried. To avoid a fire hazard do not over-dry mattress pads. Remove mattress pads from the dryer while they are still damp. Pillows • • • Ticking must be strong and seams secure. After washing, shake pillow to fluff feathers.
Operating Your Dryer NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME DRY cycle.
