Remove the lint from the filter before every load.
With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light
to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty,
follow the cleaning instructions in the Care and
Cleaning Section. With some loads that produce
high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean
the filter during the cycle.
Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white
cotton towel) and should be dried separately from
clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black
linen pants).
Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup
of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a

Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
