Loading the Dryer

NOTE

• For the best drying performance and most

efficient energy usage, do not overload the

appliance.

General Tips

• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with

zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to

prevent them from catching on or tangling with

other clothes or damaging the lint filter.

NOTE

• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not

overload the dryer; clothes require room to

tumble and dry properly.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best drying results, and to reduce the

possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into

loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements,

and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Woolen Items

• Always follow fabric care labels before drying

woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the

items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle.

Pull the items to their original shape if needed

and lay them flat to finish drying.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink,

depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent

press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce

wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

• Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or containing

rubber or plastics such as:
- Aprons, bibs and chair covers
- Curtains and tablecloths
- Bath mats

Fiberglass

• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass

particles left in the dryer could be picked up by

your clothes the next time you use the dryer and

irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,

size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer.

This will save energy and time and give the best

drying performance.

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.
