SORTING AND LOADING LAUNDRY
For the best results, your laundry should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (e.g. chenille and terry
cloth) from the lint collectors (e.g. synthetics, flannels, velvets, and corduroys). Separate non-colorfast from light
colored items, heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics, and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.
Delicate clothes, especially those with ribbon or lace, should be placed in a mesh bag before drying to prevent
tangling.
NOTE: Before drying, check all pockets. If nails, coins, or pins remain in pockets, the objects may damage the dryer
and/or clothes. Place your laundry into the dryer evenly. Uneven laundry may cause noise or vibrations.
Clothes with zippers, buckles buttons or fasteners should be closed or turned inside out to reduce the impact of
noise between the metal and the dryer's drum.
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY: Read all permanent care labels carefully. If the care label on the garment reads "Drip Dry";
"Line Dry"; or "Dry Flat": DO NOT dry the garments in the dryer. In addition, certain materials will melt or become
dangerously flammable if heated, while other garments may lose their shape. Other items that should not be
tumble dried are the following:
1. Garments that have been dry cleaned at home.
2. Garments made from wool, unless the garment manufacturer recommends it.
3. Garments with fiberglass materials.
4. Garments containing vinyl, rubber, plastic or similar materials, including bras, tennis shoes, rubber
galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc., as they may melt or burn.
Under certain circumstances, some rubber materials, when heated, can produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
NOTE: DO NOT use fabric softeners or related products that help eliminate static, unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or related products.
