separately
from light fabrics
(permanent

0 Separate
lint givers (towels, sweatshirts, etc ) from Iiqt takers (synthetics.
blends, permanent
press)
l
Keep dark colors and light colors
separate
l
Keep colorfast
items away from noncolorfast
fabrics
Allow room for items to tumble
freely The load WIII dry faster with fewer
wrinkles
When drying permanent
press,
dry smaller-than-normal
loads for the
best wrinkle removal.
Use a mesh bag to hold small
Items such as baby socks
Read the Dryer Guide for more
hints on sorting ard loading
savings,
In all these cycles, the heat shuts
off 5 minutes before the dryer stops
tumbling.
This helps cool down the load
The cool-down
time IS built in so
the laundry will not be too hot when the
dryer stops tumbling
1 When a load of hot laundry IS
not tumbllna,
wrinkles can set In
2 A load o‘i hot laundry can
be too hot to handle comfortably
The other cycle IS PERMANENT
