How to load the
clothes

Don’t overload your dryer.
Crowded loads don’t dry efficiently

and clothes may be unnecessarily

Loads should look like this:

 with

Cottons & Linens

Clean the lint 

 before

 every load.

Clean lint filter (see shaded area)
by putting your moistened fingers
at the corner of filter and wiping in
a downward motion all the way
across to the other corner.

Drum with

permanent Press Load

Lint Filter

For additional information on lint
filter, see page 13.

● 

Sort clothes by weight so you won’t

have to run an extra cycle for one or
two heavier, slower-drying items.
See page 8.

● 

Do not overload dryer. For

efficient drying, clothes need to
tumble freely.

● 

Use Automatic Drying Cycles

whenever possible to help prevent
overdying and to save energy.

● 

To help prevent ironing, use 

Press (Medium) or 
(Low). Remove garments promptly
at end of drying cycle and place on
hangers.

● 

Dry your clothes in consecutive

loads. Using a “warm” dryer will
save energy.

● 

Clean dryer lint filter each time

 dry.

● 

 dryer exhaust 

 at 

once a year. A partially clogged
exhaust can lengthen drying time.
