Loading Clothes
Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows the
maximum load you can place in your compact dryer. Expect
longer drying times.
Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.
■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
■ Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (
*
).
■ Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat sensitive
fabrics.
■ Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
