Drying Procedures
Follow fabric care label instructions.
Place small items in a mesh bag.
Fill dryer drum 1/3 to 1/2 full.
,, Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.
,, Read the Dryer Operating Instructions for operating your specific
model.
• Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product
labels.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury to
persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in Important
Safety Instructions and those listed below.
.
Prepare items for drying.
,, Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same
load.
,, Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that
shed lint from those that attract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it
inside out.
,, Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage
the drum finish. Close zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-Iike
fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
,, If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.
,, Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing.
Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal
process before drying.
,, Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy
removal.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
.
Load the dryer.
,, The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room
to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling. Do not
overload dryer.
,, When drying large items, dry only2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load
with small and medium sized items.
,, For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better
drying, less wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric
softener sheets.
,, Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage,
harshness, and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce
more lint.
,, If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door and set dryer controls (some models).
See Dryer Operating Instructions card for your specific model
controls.
5. Select cycle and settings according to type of load, level of
dryness and/or options desired.
6.
Start the dryer.
,, Turn Start control clockwise to ON. Hold for 1-2 seconds and
release.
,, To add or remove items when the dryer is running, open the door.
The dryer will always stop when the door is opened.
,, Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside.
7. When the cycle ends, remove items immediately and hang or
fold. If load is removed before the cycle ends, turn cycle selector to
OFF.
