•
DRYING TIME: The drying time depends on many factors, such as the type of fabric. In addition, the drying
duration is dependent on how dry you want the laundry to be when taken out of the dryer.
•
DRYER ADDED FABRIC SOFTENERS: Certain dryer added fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic
dryers. Therefore, only use fabric softeners with written assurance from the manufacturer that their
softeners can safely be used in your dryer.
•
OVERDRYING GARMENTS: Do not overdry the garments. This can cause the fabrics to wrinkle, shrink, or
feel harsh. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static electricity. Periodically check on the
garments if you are unsure of the drying time.
NOTE: Refer to the Fabric Care Chart on page 14 for commonly used fabric care symbols.
NOTE: ALWAYS remove the laundry load from the dryer as soon as possible.
