Loading your
Dryer
For best drying results and energy
savings, sort dryer loads carefully.
Sort loads according to the type
of fabric and weight. For exannple:
• Dn/ heavy fabrics (denims, towels,
cottons) separately from light fabrics
(permanent press, synthetics)
• Separate lint givers (towels, sweat
shirts, etc.) from lint takers (synthetics,
blends, permanent press),
• Keep dark colors and light colors
separate.
• Keep colorfast items away from noncolorfast fabrics.
Allow room for items to tumble
freely. The load will dry faster with fewer
wrinkles.
When drying permanent press,
dry smoller-than-normal loads for the
best wrinkle removal.
Use a mesh bag to hold small
items such as baby socks.
