LAUNDRY TIPS
Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for
reducing static cling (static can also be re­
duced by not overdrying) and for softening
fabrics. Always follow package instructions
carefully.
• Put fabric softener sheet on top of the load
before starting the dryer. Do not add a
fabric softener sheet after the cycle has
started. Instant heat can cause the fabric
softener to spot fabrics.
• Clear, grease-like spots can result from the
fabric softener sheet becoming tangled in an
item during tumbling. If fabric softener
causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with
liquid detergent or bar soap, rewash.
• Some fabric softeners can clog the lint
screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners
labeled as dryer safe.
Saving energy
• Dry only full loads without overdrying.
• Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to
a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
• Plan your laundry to dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
’ Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer
properly and cleaning exhaust duct as
needed.
-Keep the lint screen clean.
-Use your dryer in a room where room air
temperature is above 45°F (7°C).
-Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
