Steps to prevent wrinkling

• Remove clothes immediately when dryer stops tumbling and place on hangers.
• Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.
• If drying only one article, add two similar articles, even if dry, to ensure proper tumbling.
• Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items, such as work clothes, with lighter permanent press items, such as shirts or blouses.
• Do not washer permanent press items with ordinary items such as towels, bed linens, etc.
• Items must have room to move freely. Permanent press loads should always be smaller than regular loads, and no more than medium loads.
• Use Permanent Press Washer and Dry Cycles. This cycle provides a cool down rinse to minimize wrinkling.
• Use Full water fill for medium load, Medium fill for small loads.
• If a non-phosphate detergent must be used, avoid the use of a high-carbonate detergent (high carbonate would be in the 7% range).
• Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.
