Grouping 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.
LOADING THE DRYER
WARN ING: Toreducetheriskoffire,
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 a load.
Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble 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
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" on page 28 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 may damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.
