LOADING THE DRYER

wWARNING:
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appli-
ance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• C heck 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.
• N ever 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.
• D amp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble
dry properly.
• C lose zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
CHECk THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EV-
ERY LOAD
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. See "Care and Cleaning" for more information.
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.
