Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For best fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar care requirements together.
LOADING THE DRYER
WARN ING: Toreducetheriskoffire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
•Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Loading Tips
•Combine large and small items in a load.
•Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
•Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE
EVERY LOAD
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See "Regular Cleaning" on page 28 for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter may damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.
