Laundry Tips

This section provides information on preparing clothes for drying, drying guidelines, and

instructions for drying special-care items.

NOTES:

• Refer to your Washer Use and Care Guide for proper washing techniques and additional

laundry tips.

• See pages 3 and 4 of this book for Important Safety Information.

Sorting

clothes

• Separate dark from light colors; colorfast

from non-colorfast.

Items

properly sorted for washing are

usually properly sorted for

drying.

• Separate heavy fabrics (denim, towels)

from light fabrics (synthetics, permanent

press).

• Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from

lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, perma-

nent press). When possible, turn lint takers

inside out.

Choosing

load sizes

• Mix large items with smaller items. Load

the dryer by the amount of

space items take up, not by

their weight. Do not overload

the dryer. Overcrowding

causes uneven drying and

wrinkling, and can cause items to wear out

faster (because of pilling).

• 'You may need to rearrange large items

(sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a

cycle to reduce bailing or rolling up.

• For better tumbling action, when drying

only a few small items, add one or two

lint-free towels. This also prevents small,

lightweight items from blocking airflow.

Drying

tips

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

nagging other items. Remove

heat-sensitive trim that can be

damaged by drying. Tie strings

and sashes so they will not

tangle.

• Check garments to make sure all spots

and stains were removed during the wash.

Do not tumble dry soiled or stained items.

Heat may permanently set stains.

• Sharp or metal objects can damage your

dryer. Check pockets for pins,

clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.

Do not lay these objects on

your dryer after emptying

pockets. Turn pockets of

heavy items inside out for even drying.

• Place small items such as baby socks or

hankies in a mesh bag for easier removal.

• Articles to be ironed should be removed

from the dryer while still damp.
