or injury.

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.
