CHOOSING LOAD SIZES
• Mix large items with small items.
Load the dryer by the amount of space
items take up, not by their weight. Do
not overload the dryer. Overcrowding
causes uneven drying and wrinkling,
and can cause items to wear out faster
(because of pilling).
• You may need to rearrange large items
(sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during
a cycle to reduce balling or rolling up.
• For better tumbling action, when drying
only a few small items, add one or two
lint-free towels. This also prevents small
lightweight items from blocking airflow.

USING DRYER
FABRIC SOFTENERS
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended
for reducing static cling. Always follow
package instructions carefully.
• Put one fabric softener sheet on top
of the load before starting the dryer.
Do not add a fabric softener sheet after
the drying cycle has started. Instant heat
can cause the fabric softener to spot
fabrics.
• Remove fabric softener stains by
wetting the stains and rubbing them with
liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash.
• Some fabric softeners can clog the
lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric
softeners labeled as dryer safe.
SAVING ENERGY
• Sort load by fabric weight and type.
• Use the preset cycle settings to dry
most loads.
• Use the EXPRESS DRY™ cycle to dry
small loads of light to medium weigh
fabrics.
• Dry full loads when possible. Do not
overdry.
• Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet
items to a partly dried load, or opening
the door unnecessarily.
• Shorten drying times by exhausting
dryer properly and cleaning exhaust
vent and outside exhaust hood as
needed.
• Keep the lint screen clean.
• Use dryer where room air temperature
is above 45°F.
