RYER EXHAUSTTUPS

Read the installation instructions

and the Use and Care Guide.

DON_T

Let a poor exhaust syste_

cause smow drying.

Let your dryer exhaust

the air easily.

DON'T

Restrict your dryer with a

poor exhaust system.

Do DON'T

Use plastic, thin foil, or

non-metal flexible duct.

(-I I I

Keep duct runs as straight

as possible.

DON'T

iiiiil.....

DON'T

ducts and vent.

• After each load.

° To shorten drying time.

° To operate more energy efficiently.

NOTIE_" Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.

Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry differently:

Lightweight clothes wilt 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.
