Before you start
Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.
Sort and load
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a
time.
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items
together.
• To improve drying efficiency for one or
two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items before
inserting them into the dryer.

• Overloading reduces the tumbling
action, resulting in uneven drying and
wrinkling.
• Unless recommended on the care label,
do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol,
gasoline, etc.
To prevent a risk of fire, make sure to
clean the lint filter before or after every
load.
