Operating Your Dryer
BEFORE USING YOUR DRYER
Read the important instructions in this section of
the Use and Care Guide before operating your
dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide
before operating your dryer.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
1. Prepare load for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-
struction 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. Dryer
heat may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat-
proof and won’t damage the drum fi nish. Close
zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro
® -like fasten-
ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-
ging and tangling.
• A clean lint fi lter allows the dryer to operate
more effi ciently.
3. Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fi ll 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.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven
drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or
three similar items to improve tumbling action.
4. Select the appropriate cycle and
settings for each load.
