Drying Procedures

To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or in-
jury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
(Mesh bag not included.)
Clean the lint fi lter after
every load.
1. Prepare load 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.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed in
washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again
before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some
stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and
won't damage the drum fi nish. Close zippers; fas-
ten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and
sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
2.
Check that the lint fi lter is clean and in place.
3.
Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fi ll the
drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely
for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of
the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and
wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items
at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized
items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three simi-
lar items to improve tumbling action.
4.
Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each
load.
• See Operating Instructions for your specifi c model.
5.
Start the cycle.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,
open the door. The dryer will stop when the door is
opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop
before reaching inside.
• Close the door and press Start to resume the cycle.
6.
When the cycle ends, remove items immediately
and hang or fold.
