A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight
items such as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying
medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,
underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
An Extra-Low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight
items such as lingerie.
Use a no heat (air dry) setting for foam, rubber, plastic,
