so, she may want to dry clothes completely to eliminate the danger of mildew and then sprinkle them as she irons. This she can do by using "Automatic Sprinkling."

Tips for Successful Drying

In all appliances, there are tips which will help the customer enjoy the product to the fullest. Here are a few for drying clothes:

Drying Timetables

The drying times given in the instruction book should be used only as a guide to estimate times for specific loads. There will be variations depending upon the type of load, the fabric, the number of garments, and the washer in which they were washed. Naturally, all of the times given are based on water extraction in a Frigidaire washer. Clothes spun in other type washers will take longer to dry.

Drying Starched Clothes

Overdrying

Starched clothes may be dried successfully according to the following:

1. Dry starched clothes separately.

2. Start with a cool drum.

3. If desired, use a heavier starch.

4. Starched clothes should be removed damp-dry for ironing. If allowed to dry completely some of the starch-particularly cornstarch-will flake off and thus the garment loses some of its desired stiffness.

Many complaints result directly from overdrying. Remember that all fibers have some natural moisture. To remove this moisture results in wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness and sometimes yellowing.

Clothes should be removed from the dryer while they still feel a trifle moist. On the DI and DCI-59 models, the Automatic Drying cycle will dry clothes to just the right dryness. On other models, the homemaker should use the minimum time given in the timetable.
