PERATING TIPS

After each load.

To shorten drying time.

To operate more energy efficiently.

By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.

Avoid very small loads or mixing heavyweight and lightweight

clothes.

When only one or two articles need drying, add a few similar items

to improve tumbling and drying efficiency.

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.

After loading the dryer.

To control static cling.

Before the load becomes warm.This helps prevent greasy-looldng

softener stains.

And remove any used softener sheets from the dryer to prevent

greasy-looldng softener stains.
