Fabric and Drying Selections HOW TO SORT CLOTHES Sort by Surface Texture Separate LINT PRODUCERS-such as terry toweling and chenille-give up lint. LINT COLLECTORS-such as manmade fibers and napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy-attract lint. These must be dried separately. Sort by Fabric Separate Sort by Color Separate In addition to sorting to reduce lint collection, we recommend that you wash fabrics of similar construction together whenever possible. Sorting Sort by Weight Separate For information on tumble drying extra-large items and different fabrics and loads, see the Suggested Fabrics and Drying Selections guide. Energy-Saving Tips ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR YOUR DRYER • Sort clothes by weight so you won't have to run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slowerdrying items. • Do not overload dryer. The drum should be no more than half full of wet articles. For efficient drying, clothes need to tumble freely. Overloading prolongs drying time and produces uneven drying. • Use Automatic Drying Cycle whenever possible to help prevent overdrying and to save energy. • To help prevent ironing, remove garments immediately at the end of the drying cycle and place on hangers. • Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a "warm" dryer will save energy. • Clean lint filter each time you dry. • Clean dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen drying time. 17
