Before Drying . . .
Permanent Press
and Synthetics
These loads will require the
following special treatment to get
the best results from their “no-iron”
properties.
•
Static electricity may cause
garments of synthetic fibres (as
in lingerie) to cling together,
especially if they are overdried.
The use of a liquid fabric
softener in the rinse water of
the washer will soften clothes
and reduce static electricity.
•
Do not wash or dry clothes that
shed lint in the same load with
permanent press or knit
garments.
•
Remove permanent press
loads immediately after dryer
stops.
a WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire,
explosion, serious injury or
death, clothes which have
traces of any flammable
substances such as cooking
oil, machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc. must
not be put into the dryer.
Helps and Hints Energy Saving Tips
•
Make sure the lint filter is
always clean.
•
Do not overload the dryer.
•
Do not overdry items.
•
Remove items to be ironed
while still damp.
•
Large loads of similar fabrics
dry the most efficiently.
However, dry permanent
press in smaller loads to
prevent wrinkling.
•
Use the correct FABRIC
SELECTOR setting for the
type of fabric being dried.
•
Locate your dryer so the
exhaust duct is as short and
straight as possible.
•
Do not open the door during
the drying cycle.
•
Plan to do your laundry on
low humidity days; your clothes
will dry faster.
•
Dry multiple loads of clothes
one right after another so
dryer interior does not have to
be reheated for each load.
Exhaust System
a WARNING
A clothes dryer produces
combustible lint. To reduce
the risk of fire, serious injury
or death, the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
Regular or *Untreated Clothes
A properly sorted wash load is
generally a dryer load. In both
washing and drying, the bulk or
volume of clothes, rather than
weight, will determine the load
size. The dryer cylinder is large
and is designed to dry a large or
average load at maximum
efficiency. DO NOT OVERLOAD
THE DRYER MAXIMUM LOAD:
Dryer cylinder one half full of wet
clothes.
Loads consisting of several small
pieces only, such as knit shorts or
nappies, do not tumble well and
may require longer drying time
which could result in excessive
wrinkling. Add several towels to
aid tumbling. Large and small
items together make the best load
for the dryer.
For the most even drying, fabrics
in a load should be of similar
weight. If mixed loads are dried,
remove the lighter weight fabrics
when they are dry. Avoid
overdrying to prevent harshness of
fabrics, wrinkling, and possible
shrinkage.
Clothing loads must be cooled
properly at the end of the drying
cycle. Do not remove them from
dryer until it has gone through
cool-down and the cycle is
completed.
* Treated clothes are those items
that will be labeled “FLAME
RETARDANT,” “SCOTCH-
GUARD”,
 etc. Follow the CARE
LABELS on these garments for
the proper washing and drying.
•
Do not use plastic or thin foil
flexible ducting.
•
The necessary suggestions
and directions for installation
and proper exhausting are
given in the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS which are
included with the dryer.
•
The exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically to remove
any obstructions.
•
Check occasionally to make
sure the flapper on the weather
hood moves freely, is not
pushed in and that nothing has
been set against it. Also check
that the flapper is not standing
open. If it is open, leaves or
accumulated debris could
restrict it. Any restriction of the
air from the dryer will decrease
drying efficiency.
