Filter

place in door opening when using dryer
or loading and unloading dryer• If tilter

1. Sort clothes for drying
Properly dried clothes will need a minimum of care when removed from
the dryer. Clothes properly sorted for washing should be properly sorted
for drying also. Follow the examples below.
SORT EXAM PLES
Dark and Light Separate light clothes from dark clothes.
Colors
Lint Shedding Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs
Fabrics
Lint Receiving Corduroys, knits (including socks),
Fabrics permanent press, and synthetics
Heavy and Light Lightweight fabrics dry faster than heavyweight
weight Fabrics fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such
as sheets and towels), remove the lighter
weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent
over drying and wrinkling.
2. Clean the lint filter before each use
A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying and clothes will remain lint-
free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the screen will reduce air
flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint screen may be
washed if needed.
• Lint filter is located at front of the dryer in the lower part of door opening.
• Replace lint filter in door recess and push in firmly. Words on filter
should face front of dryer.
Add clothes loosely into dryer drum. Add fabric softener sheet, if
desired. Close loading door. Dryer will not operate with the door open.
