Drying Clothes
If These Controls are Different from Yours
These controls are intended to show the variety of features that are available in the product line. If your dryer does not have all the options that are shown, it is not a mistake. The information provided applies to several of the models in the product line.

2. Clean the lint filter before each use
A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying and clothes will remain lint- free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the screen will reduce air flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint screen may be washed if needed.
•Lint filter is located at front of the dryer in the lower part of door opening.
•Replace lint filter in door recess and push in firmly. Words on filter should face front of dryer.
Add clothes loosely into dryer drum. Add fabric softener sheet, if desired. Close loading door. Dryer will not operate with the door open.
