DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Drying Procedures WARNING CAUTION 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. • DO NOT operate dryer without lint filter in place. • ALWAYS clean filter after each load. STEPS TIPS IMPORTANT 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. • Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag (not included). • Be sure buckles, buttons, and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers, buttons, hooks, and hook and loop fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling. • Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. 2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place. • DO NOT operate dryer without lint filter in place. • DO NOT operate dryer without cleaning the filter before use. 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. • When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with smaller items. • For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action. • DO NOT overload the dryer. 4.
