Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to tumble the clothes briefly at intervals at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours. Then... To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY option. Then... Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details. Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will be increased. Then... Turn off the dryer and call for service. I Then... Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). Static can cause lint to cling to clothing. See Excess Static in Clothes After Drying section on page 26. Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes. 28
