oSort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one

or two heavier, slower-drying items.

*Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need

to tumble freely.

@To help prevent ironing, remove garments promptly at end of drying cycle

and place on hangers.

oDry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer

will save energy.
oClean the dryer lint filter each time you dry.
*Ciean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A partia

exhaust can lengthen drying time.
