CONSULT CARE LABELS BEFORE DRYING ARTICLES I
DRY PRACTICALLY
ANY FABRIC
Generally fabrics that .can be
washed in your Kenmore Laundry
Center can be dried in your Ken-
more Laundry Center.
Washables not recommended for
dryer: foam rubber, loosely woven
or hand-knitted woolens, rugs with
flammable backing, fiber glass
materials.
Be sure plastic buttons and buckles
are heat-proof.
When using Delicate and Permanent
Press fabrics, check for dryness
after minimum time suggested.
ff you mix various types of fabrics
in your drying load, set controls for
lighter weight fabrics and remove
when dry. Reset temperature for
remaining fabrics.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR GOOD RESULTS
An average size washer load is
usually a good size dryer toad. Items
that are washed together can
generally be dried together. Consult
care label before drying.
* Close zippers, empty pockets,
fasten hooks and eyes to prevent
snagging.
_-CAUTiON Remove all items
from garments and fabrics to be
dried, such as facial tissues,
matches, crayons, nails, safety pins
or any metallic or hard objects
which might damage clothes or ap-
pliance.
° PUt socks and other small items in
mesh bag for easier removal.
* Items to be ironed should be
removed while slightly damp.
* Put damp dry items together in
one load.
* If drying sheer items, start with a
cold drum.
* If drying only a few items, add a
terry towel or two to maintain
proper tumbling action.
* If desired, add a dryer fabric
softener sheet.
° Remove and foId clothes quickly
to prevent wrinkling.
Do not overload dryer
Clothes must have room to tumble
and billow.
Avoid over.drying
* Clothes (except permanent press)
should be removed white they feel
slightly damp. If they are
absolutely dry to touch, they are
too dry; over-drying increases
wrinkling and shrinkage, and
wastes heat.
¢ To test for dryness, take garment
out of dryer and feel it in room
temperature air. Clothes will feel
damper in warm, moist air of
dryer drum than they will in room
air,
o When using TIMED cycle, set
minimum time shown on Control
Settings Chart (page 6).
NO HEAT is excellent
for fluffing and dusting
Use to air bedding, dust draperies
and slipcovers, fluff decorative
pillows, and freshen clothes that
have been stored in mothballs or in
"stale" closet. Also use for safe
drying of plastic and extra-sensitive
sheer fabrics.
, Place items in dryer. Set Temper-
ature Selector for AIR FLUFF
(no heat).
* Set Dryer Timer for TIMED cycle
ONLY. Do not use AUTO-
MATIC cycle when Temperature
Selector is set at AIR FLUFF (no
heat) as dryer will not shut off.
I_kWARNING. Do not wash or dry articles that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with
Gasoline, Cleaning Solvents, Kerosene, Cooking Oil,
Waxes, etc. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode,

Use your dryer as a valet
Your Kenmore Laundry Center is wonderful for steam-
ing out wrinkles and refreshing corduroy, woolens,
veIveteen skirts, jackets, slacks or blouses, Here's alI
you do:
• Place garments in dryer with one or two slightly
dampened terry towels.
• Set controls for type of garment.
• Select 30 minutes of Heat and let clothes tumble.
Steam from towels will "press" clothes.
• After 15 to 20 minutes (before dryer stops tumbling),
remove garments and hang on a hanger.
