■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. Different
fabric types will tend to dry at different times.
■ For best results, do not drape items over the top rack.
■ Leave space between items to allow for unrestricted airflow
for even drying.
■ Do not hang knit items. They may stretch from the weight of
the wet fabric.
■ Some garments may show hanger lines.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying.
