Gentle Heat

the heat settings In HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESSMED cycles. During

the last few mlnutes of each of

these cycles the dryer tempemture

gradually reduces to a lower heat

setting. This helps prevent

overdrying.

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the

cycle suggested for the lightest fab-

rics When the dryer stops, remove dry

items and reset the control.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is important for permanent press,

knits and synthetic fabrics.
