0 Separate lint givers (towels, sweat-

shirts, etc ) from Iiqt takers (synthetics.

Keep dark colors and light colors

separate

Keep colorfast items away from non-

Allow room

for items to tumble

off 5 minutes before the dryer stops

tumbling. This helps cool down the load

The cool-down time

built in so

the laundry will not be too hot when the

dryer stops tumbling

1 When a load of hot laundry IS

not tumbllna, wrinkles can set In

2 A load o‘i hot laundry can

be too hot to handle comfortably

down time at the end. This extra time

Setting Drying

Times

Modern drvers are designed

wrth drying temperatures needed to

safely handle modern fabrics. Cool-

down times have been added to heat

settings. You might notice slightly

longer drying times

The time rt takes +o dry a load

depends on:

The kmd of f&x, its weight, and the

size of the iood A large load of jeans

WIII

take a lot longer to dry than a

small load of lignt synthetics.

0 The omount of moisture in the load

Towels hold a lot of moisture; synthetics

don’t Synthetics dry faster

Temperature of the unse water Cold

rinses help save on energy and wrin-

kles, but a cold load WIII take slrghtly

longer to dry than a warm one.

Amount of //nt on the screen. A full

lint screen slows the air flow and can

make drying time longer

Temperature around the dryer The

dryer heats room arr. If the room arr

temperature is not above 45-F (7.2-C),
