Follow these steps for best results:

  1. Place laundry in the dryer.
  2. Do not tightly pack the dryer.
  3. Clothes should be able to move freely.

Tips for improved dryer performance:

  • Untangle items from the washer and separately add them into the dryer. Items going into the dryer twisted or tangled will take longer to dryand will likely come out of the dryer wrinkled.
