(cont.)

Then...

Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Use the WRINKLEGUARD option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 120 minutes to help pre- vent wrinkling.

Then...

To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no

heat setting and/or the RACK DRY if available.

Then...

Turn off the dryer and call for service.

Then...

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 on page 25. 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).

Excess static in clothes.

Dryer is overloaded.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.

Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
