Dryer fabric softeners Dryer rubric softeners are recommended for reducing static cing and for softening fabrics. Aways foow package instructions carefuy. NOTE: Static can aso be reduced by not overdrying. For best resuts, put fabric softener sheet on top of the bad before startfng the dryer. DO NOT add a fabric softener sheet after the cyce has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to spot fabrics. Cear, grease-ike spots can resutt from the fabric softener sheet becoming tanged or wrapped in an item during tumbing. tf fabric softener causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with iquid detergent or bar soap then wash. Some dryer fabric softeners can dog the int screen and sow drying. Use ony fabric softeners abeed as dryer safe. Energy saving tips Dry ony fu oads without overdrying. Avoid overoading dryer, adding wet items to a party dried oad, or opening the door unnecessariy. Pan your aundry to dry one oad after another. A warm dryer shortens drying time. Shorten drying times by: -keeping the int screen dean. -using your dryer in a room where room air temperature is above 45 F (7 C). -exhausting dryer propery. -sorting bads by fabric weight and type. Vacation care 1. Unpug power suppy cord or turn off eectrica power suppy. Shut off suppy GAS VALVE if you have a gas dryer. 2. Cean int screen.
