SORTING LOADS

Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels
that include instructions for proper care.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, 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.

LOADING THE DRYER

wWARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, 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 fire.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove
oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can
result in fire, explosion, or death.

CHECk THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EvERY LOAD

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will
increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any
lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter
firmly back into place. See "Care and Cleaning"
for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with
a loose or missing lint filter may damage the
dryer and articles in the dryer.
