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 time. To clean, pull the lint filter
straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your
fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See Regular 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 will damage the dryer
and articles in the dryer.

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
WARNING
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both the dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or
matches could ignite, causing a fire.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil
residues.
NOTE
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.
• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes
with zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to
prevent them from catching on or tanglingwith
other clothes or damaging the lint filter.
