To get the best dryer results possible, you must use your dryer correctly. This section tells you how to use your dryer properly and efficiently.

Starting your dryer

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Never place items in the dryer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping. If your dryer has a Consumer Buy Guide, remove it and place it with this Use and Care Guide.

3.Set the Temperature selector to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried.
