Special clothing items
Blankets and bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special
care on a low heat setting. Avoid drying for a long
period of time.
Pleated or creased garments: read manufacturer
drying instructions on the garment.
Starched articles: do not dry these items with non-
starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch
solution is removed from the load as possible before
placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will
become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which
defeats the purpose of starch.

Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:
• Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle:
towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items that have the same type of fabric but
different textures and thicknesses may not have
the same drying times.
• Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads
may take longer to dry.
• Dryness: if you are going to iron some of your
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them
to be completely dry.
• Heat setting.
• Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry
your clothes.
• Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with
care. We suggest that you remove these items
several times, shake them out, and return them to
the dryer until finished.
! Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which
keeps them soft and fluffy.
