fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See Regular Cleaning for more information.
Always ensure that the lint filter is properly
installed before running the dryer. Running the
dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage
the dryer and articles in the dryer.
Loading the Dryer
NOTE
• For the best drying performance and most
efficient energy usage, do not overload the
appliance.
General Tips
• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with
zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to
prevent them from catching on or tangling with
other clothes or damaging the lint filter.
NOTE
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to
tumble and dry properly.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best drying results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into
loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements,
and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.
Woolen Items
• Always follow fabric care labels before drying
woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the
items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle.
Pull the items to their original shape if needed
and lay them flat to finish drying.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink,
depending on quality.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent
press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce
wrinkles.
Baby Clothes and Nightgowns
• Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Rubber and Plastics
• Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics such as:
- Aprons, bibs and chair covers
- Curtains and tablecloths
- Bath mats
Fiberglass
• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass
particles left in the dryer could be picked up by
your clothes the next time you use the dryer and
irritate your skin.
Fabric Care Labels
• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,
size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer.
This will save energy and time and give the best
drying performance.
Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option
selections to care for your clothing according to
the manufacturer's recommendations.
