HELPS AND HINTS
REGULAR OR UNTREATED COTTONS
A properly sorted wash load is generally a dryer load. In both
washing and drying, the bulk or volume of clothes, rather than
pounds, will determine the load size. The Amana 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
diapers, do not tumble well, may require longer drying and could
wrinkle excessively. 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.
Remove cotton sheets slightly damp, and fold and smooth by hand
for less wrinkling.
PERMANENT PRESS AND
SYNTHETICS
These loads will require some special treatment to get the best
results from their "no-iron" properties.
Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (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. As an alternative, fabric
softener sheets may be used in the dryer.
Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load with
permanent press or knit garments.
Remove permanent press load immediately after dryer stops. If the
permanent press load is wrinkled, add a wet towel and operate the
dryer for an additional 10 minutes with heat and cool down,
remove load immediately.
