Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets. Then... Turn off the dryer and call for service. Then... Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions on page 27. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). • Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Over drying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles. Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes. 30 I I
