Operating Tips
Clean the Lint Filter
After each load.
•To shorten drying time.
•To operate more energy efficiently.
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an
all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to
remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once
these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but
should not transfer to subsequent loads.
Load the Dryer Properly
Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry
differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy
clothes may be damp.
Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only
one or two articles need drying. This improves the
tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.
•When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.
Note
Do not operate the dryer without the linter filter in
place.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an
appliance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum
performance. The outside exhaust hood should be
cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.
