Setting Drying
Times
Modem dryers are designed with
drying tennperatures needed to safeiy
handle modern tabrics, Cooidown
times have been added to heat set­
tings. You might notice slightly longer
drying times.
The time it takes to dry a load
depends on:
•
The kind of fabric, its weight, and the
size of the ioad A large load of jeans
will take a lot longer to dry than a smal
bad of lighf synthetics
•
The amount of moisture in the ioad.
Towels hold a lot of moisture; synthetics
don t. Synthetics dry faster.
•
Temperature of the rinse water Cold
rinses cause less wrinkling and help save
energy, but a cold load will take slightly
longer to dn/ than a warm one.
•
Amount of tint on the screen A full lint
screen slows the air flow and can make
drying time longer.
•
Room temperature. The dryer heats
room air. If the room temperature is not
above 45 F (7.2 C], drying time wil
be longer and removal of wrinkles may
be poor.
•
Proper instaiiation and exhaust sys­
tems. For the fastest possible dn/ing
time, installing and exhausting your
dn/er properly is important. See installa­
tion instructions
Be careful not to overdry. Over­
drying can cause shrinkage,
damage to some fabrics and
static cling.
