Grouping Similar Items

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care
requirements, and some fabrics will dry more
quickly than others.

LOADING THE DRYER

wWARNING:
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters
or matches could ignite, causing a fire.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove
oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
Loading Tips
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to
tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling

CHECk THE LINT FILTER
BEFORE EVERY LOAD
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will
increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any
lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter
firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning
(Page 35) for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with
a loose or missing lint filter may damage the
dryer and articles in the dryer.
