Sorting Fabrics
For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint
shedders (chenille and terrycloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics, flannel and
fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and corduroy). Separate non-colorfast
from light-colored items, heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics and permanent
press from heavy, bulky items.
When Not to Use the Dryer
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label says "Drip
Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the dryer. Certain materials will melt
or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose their shape.
Other items that should not be tumble-dried are:
 Items that have been dry-cleaned at home
 Wool (unless the garment manufacturer recommends it)
 Fiberglass
 Laminated or rubber-coated items
 Vinyl or plastic
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 3 before operating
this appliance.
Drying Time
Drying time depends on many factors, such as the amount of laundry, how damp
it is, the type of fabrics, the rated power of the machine and the temperature of
the room. Of course, it also depends on how dry you want the washing when
you take it out of the machine.
