PREPARING TO DRY

1. CHECK THE LINT FILTER

Clean the hnt filter after each load. It's best to check

this when the dryer is empty to prevent lint from falling onto items inside the dryer.

To clean, pull the filter out and remove any lint. (See illustration at right.) Failure to clean the filter will cause loads to take longer to dry and make the dryer operate less efficiently.

Replace the filter by pressing it firmly into position.

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

While the lint filter will catch practically all of the lint from the clothes, some fine lint dust will get through and may build up in the exhaust ducting. It is impor- tant that the ducting be cleaned out with a vacuum cleaner every year to maintain efficient drying. The hinged cover in the hood at the outside end of the exhaust duct should be cleaned more frequently to keep it free to open and close.

2. LOAD THE DRYER

A proper washer load is a proper dryer load. Do not combine loads. Avoid drying very small loads or

mixed loads of heavy, hard-to-dry items and light- weight ones. Normal sized loads dry most efficiently. (A full load is shown below.)

NOTE: If you are using a dryer-added fabric soft- ener, it should be added with the load

before starting the dryer. Adding one after

the load is warm can cause greasy-looking softener stains.
