Operating Tips

Clean the Lint Filter

After each load.

To shorten drying time.

To operate more energy efficiently.

Load the Dryer Properly

Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.

Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy clothes may be damp.

Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only one or two articles need drying. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.

Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.

Note: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Care & Cleaning

Control Panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub- stances.

Tumbler

Remove any stains (such as crayon, ink pen or fabric dye) with soap and water. Then tumble clean old tow- els or rags to remove any excess stain.

Cabinet

Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appli- ance wax once a year if desired.

Dryer Exhaust System

Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum per- formance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.)
