Shrinkage Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink. Do not use the Extra Dry program for these materials, and always stretch them out directly after drying. Dryer-Added Fabric Softeners Because some dryer-added fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic dryers, use only ones for which the manufacturers give a written assurance that their softeners can be used safely in your dryer. Single Items Use the timed program when there is only one item to be dried.
