LOADING THE DRYER

WARNING:
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.
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.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD
Every time the dryer is turned on, the CHECK FILTER
light will blink as a reminder to make sure the filter is
clean. 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.
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.
