Operating Tips

Clean the Lint Filter

After each load.

To shorten drying time.

To operate more energy efficiently.

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

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.

When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Care & Cleaning

Control Panel

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

Cabinet

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

Tumbler

Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.

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.)
