● Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for

one or two heavier, slower-drying items.

● Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need

to tumble freely.

● Remove garments promptly at the end of the drying cycle and place

on hangers.

● Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer

will save energy.

● Clean the dryer lint filter each time you dry.

● Clean the dryer exhaust

ducting

at least once a year. A partially clogged

exhaust can lengthen drying time.

YOUR DRYER

Features and appearances may vary slightly

WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your

appliance, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Check the Lint Filter

Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter

is in place. Don’t use the dryer without it. See Care and Cleaning section.

Sort and Load the Clothes

Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are

sorted correctly for washing, they’re sorted correctly for drying. See the

How to Sort the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of fabrics in

your load, set the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and remove when

dry. Reset controls for the remaining heavier fabrics.
