As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they
are sorted properly for the dryer.
Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
Do not dry the following items: fiberglass items, woolens, rubber-coated
items, plastics, items with plastic trim and foam-filled items.

Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior:
Wipe or dust any
spills or washing compounds
with a damp cloth. Dryer
control panel and finishes may
be damaged by some laundry
pretreatment soil and stain
remover products. Apply these
products away from the dryer.
The fabric may then be washed
and dried normally. Damage to
your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your
warranty.
The Lint Filter:
Clean the lint filter
before each use. Moisten your
fingers and reach into the filter
opening. Run your fingers
across the filter. Have a qualified
technician vacuum the lint from
the dryer every three years.
The Exhaust Duct:
Inspect and
clean the exhaust ducting at
least once a year to prevent
clogging. A partially clogged
exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by
disconnecting the plug
from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from
the dryer.
Vacuum the duct with the
hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood:
Check with
a mirror that the inside flaps
of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there
is not wildlife (birds, insects,
etc.) nesting inside the duct
or hood.
