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 Operating Instructions card 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 injury to persons,
read Important Safety Instructions, pages 3-4, before operating this dryer.
1. 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®-like 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.
3. 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 only 2 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 select the cycle, temperature,
dryness level and options desired.
See Operating Instructions for your specific model information.
