Drying Procedures
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons, read these
Important Safety Instructions in this
Use & Care Guide before operating this
washer.
Steps
1. Prepare load
for drying.
2. Check that
the lint filter
is clean and
in place.
3. Load the
dryer and
close the
door.
Tips
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight, and con-
struction 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 pro-
cess and wash again before drying.
• Place delicate/small items in a mesh bag (not
included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons, and trim are heat-
proof and won't damage the drum finish. Close
zippers, buttons, hooks, and hook and loop fas-
teners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-
ging and tangling.
• 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.
CAUTION
• DO NOT operate dryer without lint
filter in place.
• ALWAYS clean filter after each load.
