Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops, place clothes on hangers to
minimize wrinkling.

Dry silks and wools in your dryer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.

Tumble drying is mandatory. Down must be thoroughly dried to remove odor and prevent mildewing. Place two large, dry towels in the
dryer to improve tumbling and shorten drying time. Be sure to dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT. If children’s sleepwear is made of Modacrylic, tumble dry only on Low/Knits temperature. Normal heat temperature can damage
these fabrics. Check manufacturer’s drying instructions.

See above instructions.

Place in dryer with 3 or 4 dry towels which have been heated for 5 minutes. Set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not set control for more than
25 minutes. Do only one blanket at a time. Remove blanket at end of cycle and block blanket back to original shape. Press binding with warm
iron. Allow to dry before storing.

Use dry towels as buffers. Set timer for 20 minutes. If items are still wet, reset for 15 minutes and check again. Items should be removed while
still damp. Place slipcovers on furniture immediately. Hang draperies and curtains so that creases will fall out. Stop dryer periodically and check
filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.

Tumble dry on FLUFF (No Heat) setting as heat may cause alteration in shape, color and appearance of such articles.

Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.

have room to tumble, the air flow maybe blocked which could result in scorching your valuable items. Many large items, like shag rugs, cannot
be dried in home size dryers. DO NW fumble dry jackets containing tipok. (See filter cleaning instructions above. )

Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. Dry no more than one pillow at a time and set dryer for maximum
time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillows to redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillows at end of drying time. If they are not
