Safety
Instructions,
con't
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply
before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so
can result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer
interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is
moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before
reaching into the drum.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER
All repairs and servicing must be performed by an au-
thorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this
Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor
in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric
dryers only). A service technician must replace the thermal
limiter switch after correcting the fault.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in seri-
ous personal injuries.

Drying
Procedures
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or in-
jury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
.
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.
Placedelicate or small items in a mesh bag.
(Mesh bag not included.)
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and
won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fas-
ten hooks and Velcro®-Iike fasteners. Tie strings and
sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
,
,
Check that the lint filter is dean and in place.
Clean the lint filter after
every load.
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 simi-
lar items to improve tumbling action.
