hOW TO USE
Following are instructions for starting and using your new dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed
information.
Check the lint filter before every
load
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. See
Regular Cleaning
for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running
the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will
damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

WARNINg
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.

• Combine large and small items in a load.

dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items
from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
