Setting Drying
rimes
Modern dryers are designed
with drying temperatures needed to
safely handle modern fabrics. Cool­
down times have been added to heat
settings. You might notice slightly
longer drying times.
The time it takes to dry a load
depends on
• The kind of fabric, ifs weight, and the
size of the load A large load of jeans
will take a lot longer to dry than a
small load of light synthetics,
• The amount of moisture in the load.
Towels hold a lot of moisture; synthetics
don't. Synthetics dry faster,
• Temperature of the rinse wafer Cold
rinses help save on energy and wrin­
kles, but a cold load will take slightly
longer to dry than a warm one,
• Amount of lint on the soreen A full
lint screen slows the air flow and can
make drying time longer,
• Temperature around the dryer The
dryer heats room air. If that air is cold,
drying time will be longer and fabric
wrinkles may not be removed
• Proper installdtion and exhaust sys­
tems. For the fastest possible drying
time, installing and exhausting your
dryer properly is important. See instal­
lation instructions.
