HOW TO 

 YOUR DRYER

WARNINGTO 

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 
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 right for washing, they’re sorted right 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.
