OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the dryer
STEPS
TIPS
IMPORTANT
1. Prepare load
for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight, and
construction 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.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag
(not included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons, and trim are
heatproof and won’t damage the drum
finish. Close zippers, buttons, hooks, and
hook and loop fasteners. Tie strings and
sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
• Dryer heat may
permanently set
some stains.
2. Check that
the lint filter
is clean and
in place.
•
• DO NOT operate
dryer without lint
filter in place.
• DO NOT operate
dryer without
cleaning the filter
before use.
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.
• When drying large items, dry only two or
three items at a time. Fill out the load with
smaller items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or
three similar items to improve tumbling action.
• DO NOT overload
the dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons, read the Important
Safety Information in this
Use & Care
Guide before operating your dryer.
CAUTION
• DO NOT operate dryer without lint
filter in place.
• ALWAYS clean filter after each load.
