8 Operating Instructions 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 fire, 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 construction 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 heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling. 2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place. 3. Load the dryer and close the door. Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill 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. (Mesh bag not included.)
