warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.

chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be
cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessiveamount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, dam- aged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.

,
Check that the lint filter is dean and in place.
.
Prepare load for drying.
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.
Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some
stains.
Placedelicate or small items in a mesh bag.
(Mesh bag not included.)
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fas- ten hooks and Velcro®-Iike fasteners. Tie strings and sashesto prevent snagging and tangling.
Clean the lint filter after
every load.
,
Load the dryer and close the door.
Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and lesswrinkling. If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle. Tosave energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer. When drying large items, dry only two or three items
at a time. Fillout the load with small and medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add two or three simi- lar items to improve tumbling action.
