Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items. Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in all GE Dryers when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling. Do not dry the following items: fiberglass items, woolens, rubber-coated items, plastics, items with plastic trim and foam-filled items. 15
