SET UP & USE
SORTING AND LOADING LAUNDRY
NOTE: Do not load your dryer more than approximately half full to allow space
for the clothes to tumble.
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 nylon
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.
