To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read Important Safety Instructions before operating this dryer. Follow fabric care label instructions. 1. Prepare items 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. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out. • 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. • If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying. • Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process before drying. • Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy removal. Place small items in a mesh bag. 2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place. 3. Load the dryer. • The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload dryer. • When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items. • For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets. • Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint. • If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet. 4.
