Operating Tips

Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
Note: Do not operate the dryer
without the lint filter in place.
Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub-
stances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains (such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye) with soap and water. Then tumble clean old tow-
els or rags to remove any excess stain.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appli-
ance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum per-
formance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned
more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to
the Installation Instructions for more information.)

Load the Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will
dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while
heavy clothes may be damp.
• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when
only one or two articles need drying. This improves
the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of
some fabrics.
