LOADING THE DRYER

WARNING:
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage
both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects
such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fi re.
Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil,
gasoline, or other fl ammable substances. Washing
clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure
to obey this warning can result in fi re, explosion,
or death.
Loading Tips
• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry
properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD
Every time the dryer is turned on, the CHECK FILTER light
will blink as a reminder to make sure the fi lter is clean.
Always make sure the lint fi lter is clean before starting a
new load; a clogged lint fi lter will increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint fi lter straight up and roll any lint off
the fi lter with your fi ngers. Do not rinse or wash the fi lter
to remove lint. Push the lint fi lter fi rmly back into place.
Always ensure the lint fi lter is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint fi lter may damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.
