Polyester Knits & Permanent Press Drying Tips
,DO NOT OVERLOAD--
Garments being dried ordewrinkled should tumble fleely.
.REMOVE CLOTHES
PROMPTLY To help preventwrinkling, remove clothes fromthe dryer promptly at the end ofthe &Ting cycles.
• PLACE ON HANGERS--
Permanent press and polyesterknit garments look best if placedon haugers after duing.
The Difference Between Auto Regular and Timed Regular Drying (on models so equipped)
Auto Regular
When using the Auto Regular Cycles, the dwercontinually senses the temperature of the air in thedryer drum. Wet laundry keeps the air cool. Whenlaun& y is dry enough (and the drum air warmenough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, theheat turns back on. This off and on cycling mayhappen a number of times (depending on the fabric,load size and Cycle Selector setting). The CycleSelector advances (when the heat is off) until itautomatically turns off the dryer.
Timed Regular
When using the Timed Cycles, you select the numberof minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off atthe end of this time period.

Stop&yer occasionally and shake pillow to redistribute filling for more even drying.Check pillow at end of drying time if not completely dry, return pillow to dwerand reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be driedcompletely to prevent mildew. DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing kapok.
Put 2 or 4 dW towels into the dwer; tumble dry for 5 minutes. Set timer for20-25 minutes. DO NOT set control for more than 25 minutes. DRY ONLY
ONE BLANKET AT A TIME. Remove blanket at the end of the cycle andblock the blanket back to its original shape. Allow to dry thoroughlybefore storing.
First setting 20 minutes; check and redistribute load. Then set timer for15 minutes; check load again. Reset timer at 5 minute intmwals, checkingafter each 5 minutes to make sure that the articles do not fill the dryer drum:many large articles, when wet, have ample room in the dryer, but as theydry and fluff up, they may not have room to tumble. CAUTION: If largeitems do not have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked, whichcould result in scorching your valuable items. NOTE: Mattress covers/padsshould be dried alone.

SHRINKAGE, GENERAL
• Dryer unplugged. Make sure power cord is plugged in.
• No power to dryer. Cheek fuses and circuit breakers to make sure dryer isgetting current. Most electric dryers use two.
• Controls improperly set. Make sure controls are set and the Start knob is turnedto START. Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. To restart, closethe door and turn Start knob to START.
• Dryer door is open. Close door securely dryer will not run with door open.
• Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on the same electricaloutlet or circuit while the d_yer is operating.
• Controls improperly set, Check all controls to make sure they are correctlyset for the load you want to &Y. See the How to Operate Your Dryer section.
.Clogged lint filter. Remove and clean filter before evm y load. Periodically cleanarea under lint filter with vacuum cleaner. See the Care and Cleaning section.
• Improper ducting. Make sure &Net is ducted in accordance with theInstigation Instructions.
• Obsmaction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free ofobstruction; make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexibleducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according tothe Installation Instructions.
.Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuitbreakers. Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown ortripped and the dryer will still tumble without heat.
• Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.
• Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a longtime to remove moisture.
• Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time, Do notcombine loads.
• Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles,even if du, to insure proper tumbling.
• Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed
by hand and drip dried; others maybe safely washed but will shrink in a &yet.Follow garment manufacturers' care labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machinewash or tumble dry.

PROBLEM
SHRINKAGE, KNITS
WRINKLING INPERMANENT PRESS
AND "NO-IRON" ITEMS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
.Relaxation shrinkage can Occur in knit fabrics that have been improperlystretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.
• Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in somefabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garmentsthat have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage• Treat as forrelaxation shrinkage above•
.Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit _hbrics that havebeen heat-shaped• When washing, &ying or ironing temperatures exceed thetemperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur• This cannot be corrected,but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; &ying on low heat.
• Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops• Remove clothes promptly andhang them immediately.
• Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do notcombine loads.
• Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similararticles, even if dry, to insure proper rambling.
• Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items, such as workclothes, with lighter permanent press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do notwash or dW permanent press with regular laundry.
• Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanentpress loads should always be smaller than regular loads., .no more thanmedium loads.
oUse of incorrect wash and dry cycles. If available, use Permanent Press washcycle which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, ifavailable, use Permanent Press drying cycle.
oIncorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium levelor half full for small load.
.Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water withplenty of detergent.
• Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener willminimize wrinkling.
,If unsuccessflfl, retumble on normal temperature for 10 12 minutesand haug immediately.
,Iron carefully.
,Send to Dry Cleaners for pressing.
,Some wrinkles may remain which cannot be removed. *
• NOTE: If you follow good laundry procedures and permanent press
clothes still come out wrinkled, the finish may not be good quality. Also, inpermanent press synthetic/cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric caneventually wear away leaving only the synthetic. Since its the cotton portionwhich is treated for permanent press, a loss or decrease of permanent pressperformance will result.
