Sort laundry by fabric type.
Empty pockets and check buttons.
Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings.
Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.

Do not load more than maximum capacity.

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be
damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together.
If this happens simply give them an additional short
period of drying.
Note: The last 10 minutes of any time set is the
Cool Tumble, so allow for this when setting the time,
as this period will not dry your laundry.
