Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that
include instructions for proper care.
Group Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried
with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and
some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For best
fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar care
requirements together.
SORTING LOADS
LOADING THE DRYER
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual,
including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this dryer.
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
•
Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage
both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects
such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
•
Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil,
gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing
clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure
to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
Loading Tips
•
Combine large and small items in the same load.
•
Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry
properly.
•
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD
Every time the dryer is turned on, the CHECK FILTER light
will blink as a reminder to make sure the filter is clean.
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a
new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off
the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter
to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint filter may damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
REGULAR CLEANING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual,
including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this dryer.
•
Unplug the dryer or turn the power off before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•
Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the dryer.
They will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The outside
of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a
mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Immediately wipe
off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use cleaning alcohols, solvents, or
similar products.
NEVER use steel wool or abrasive cleansers because they
can damage the surface.
Cleaning the Interior
Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft,
damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could
damage the door seal.
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent, then
wipe dry.
NEVER use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can
scratch or damage the surface.
Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Lint
Filter
ALWAYS make sure the lint filter is clean before every
cycle. The CHECK FILTER light on the control panel will
blink before every cycle to remind you.
NOTE:
NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter.
To remove lint between cycles:
Open the dryer door.
Pull the lint filter straight up.
Roll any lint off the filter with your fingers.
Periodic thorough cleaning:
Some fabric softeners can build up on the lint filter over
time. This buildup can restrict the airflow through the filter
reducing dryer efficiency and lengthening drying times.
After removing lint, if the filter looks dark or dirty when
held up to the light, follow these steps to clean:
Use hot soapy water and a stiff brush to clean the filter.
Make sure the filter is completely dry before
reinstalling it and using the dryer.
NOTE:
NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint filter.
Maintaining Ductwork
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint build up once per
month and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in airflow or drying performance occurs, immediately
check the ductwork for obstruction and blockages. Contact a
qualified technician or service provider.
