and heavier items take longer to dry.
• Heavyfabricstakelongertodrybecausetheytend
to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain
more consistent drying times for large and heavy
fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of
a consistent size.
• Usetheappropriatecontrolsettingsforthetypeof
load you are drying.
• Makesurethelintlteriscleanedbeforeeveryload.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it
may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
• Removeitemsfromthedryerimmediatelyatthe

continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for
up to 3 hours.

• Toavoidshrinkage,pleasecarefullyfollowthefabric
care instructions for your garment, because some
fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other
fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried
in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the
RACK DRY option.
