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.
• Conrmthattheexhaustductworkisproperly

Make sure that outside wall dampers can open
properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.

while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
• Removeitemsfromthedryerimmediatelyattheendof
the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to 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.
