FABRIC CARE
DRYING TIME: The drying time depends on many factors, such as the type of fabric. In
addition, the drying duration is dependent on how dry you want the laundry to be when
taken out of the dryer.
SHRINKAGE: Knitted garments in particular are susceptible to shrinking. DO NOT
use the 'HIGH' heat setting for these materials, and always stretch the garments out
immediately after drying.
DRYER ADDED FABRIC SOFTENERS: Certain dryer added fabric softeners may cause
damage to automatic dryers. Therefore, only use fabric softeners with written assurance
from the manufacturer that their softeners can safely be used in your dryer.
SINGLE ITEMS: Use the timed drying mode when there is only one item to be dried. This
is because the moisture sensor in the automatic drying mode may disable the heating
element too early in the cycle, thereby failing to adequately dry the garment.
MOIST GARMENTS AFTER TUMBLE DRYING: When using the 'LOW' heat setting for
automatic dry mode, it is possible that the laundry is not properly dried. This may
result from very heavy fabrics, thick seams, or an overloaded dryer. To dry these items
further, use the timed drying mode for an additional 10 minutes (or more). If the dryer is
overloaded, its efficiency is lessened and the laundry may not dry evenly.
OVERDRYING GARMENTS: When using the timed drying mode, it is possible to overdry
the garments, especially if the timer has been set too long. This can cause the fabrics to
wrinkle, shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static
electricity.
NOTE: Refer to the Fabric Care Chart on page 14 for commonly used fabric care symbols.
