Use and Care Guide
before operating your dryer.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Prepare load for drying.
1.
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con
-
struction in the same load.
Separate dark items from light-colored items.
Separate items that shed lint from those that
attract lint.
Check for stains which may not have been
removed in washing. Repeat stain removal
process and wash again before drying. Dryer
heat may permanently set some stains.
Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat
-
proof and won’t damage the drum finish. Close
zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro
®
-like fasten
-
ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-
ging and tangling.
2. Check that the lint filter is clean and
in place.
A clean lint filter allows the dryer to operate
more efficiently.
3. Load the dryer and close the door.
Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet
on top of the load at the beginning of the
cycle.
To save energy and time and avoid uneven
drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
When drying large items, dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add two or
three similar items to improve tumbling action.
