Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also sort by color.

Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can
cause lint-attracting static electricity. See “Drying, Cycle and
Temperature Tips.”

If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time?
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.

Turn off the gas supply line, leave your house and then call
your local gas company.
