Drying Tips
CONSULT CARE LABELS BEFORE DRYING ARTICLES
DRY PRACTICALLY
ANY FABRIC
Generally fabrics that can be
washed in the Kenmore Electronic
Laundry Center can be dried in the
Kenmore Electronic Laundry
Center.
Washables not recommended for
dryer: loosely woven or hand-
knitted woolens and some rayons
and silks. (Check care label. Also
see warnings below.)
Be sure plastic buttons and buckles
are heat-proof.
When using delicate and permanent
press fabrics, check for dryness
after minimum time suggested.
If various types of fabrics are mixed
in drying load, set controls for
lighter weight fabrics and remove
when dry. Reset temperature for
remaining fabrics.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR GOOD RESULTS
An average size washer load is
usually a dryer load. Items that are
washed together can generally be
dried together. Consult care label
before drying.

USE
i ACAUTION1 Remove all items
garments and fabrics to be
such as facial tissues,
nails, safety pins
or hard objects
from
dried,
matches, crayons
or any metallic
which might damage clothes or ap
pliance.
Close zippers, empty pockets,
fasten hooks and eyes to prevent
snagging.
Put socks and other small items in
mesh bag for easier removal.
Items to be ironed should be
removed while slightly damp.
Put damp dry items together in
one load.
If drying sheer items, start with a
cold drum.
If drying only a few items, add a
bath towel or two to maintain
proper tumbling action.
If desired, add a dryer fabric
softener sheet.
Remove and fold or hang clothes
quickly to prevent wrinkling.
Do not overload dryer
Clothes must have room to tumble
and billow.
Foam Shoulder Pads
[AWÂRNING I Do not wash or dry-
articles that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, cooking oil, waxes, etc.
These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
Feather or Foam Pillow
flKVi^NlN^I To prevent fire, do
not use heat to dry articles contain­
ing plastic, foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or
pillows and clothing with feathers/
down.
Avoid over-drying
o Clothes (except permanent press)
should be removed while they feel
slightly damp. If they are
absolutely dry to touch, they are
too dry; over-drying increases
wrinkling and shrinkage, and
wastes heat.
® To test for dryness, take garment
out of dryer and feel it in room
temperature air. Clothes will feel
damper in warm, moist air of
dryer drum than they will in room
air.
» When using TIMED cycle, set
minimum time shown on Control
Settings Chart (page 8),
AIR ONLY Is excellent for
fluffing and dusting
Use AIR ONLY to air bedding, dust
draperies and slipcovers, fluff
decorative pillows, and freshen
clothes that have been stored in
mothballs or in a “stale” closet.
Also use for safe drying of plastic
and extra-sensitive sheer fabrics,
o Place items in dryer.
® Touch AIR ONLY and time
desired.
® Touch START.
Use the dryer as a valet
The Kenmore Electronic Laundry
Center is wonderful for steaming
out wrinkles and refreshing cor­
duroy, woolens, and velveteen
skirts, jackets, slacks or blouses.
Follow these directions:
« Place garments in dryer with one
or two slightly dampened bath
towels.
• Touch TOUCH UP and time
desired (Models 91901 and
91951).
OR
® Select 30 minutes of TIMED
DRY Perm’t Press cycle and let
clothes tumble. Steam from
towels will “press” clothes.
» After 15-20 minutes (before dryer
stops tumbling), remove garments
and hang on a hanger.
