See your “Dryer Guide” for more

information.

When drying a load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the

items and reset the control.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

knits and synthetic fabrics.

your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.

Push the screen firmly back into place
