SORTING LOADS

Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that
include instructions for proper care.
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. For best
fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar care
requirements together.
HOW TO USE
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual,

LOADING THE DRYER

WARNING:
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 a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT SCREEN BEFORE
EVERY LOAD
Always make sure the lint screen is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint screen will increase
drying times.
To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any lint
off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash
the screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen firmly
back into place. See "Regular Cleaning" on page 25
for more information.
Always ensure the lint screen is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint screen may damage the dryer and articles
in the dryer.
