Check the Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter 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 correctly for washing, they’re sorted correctly 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.

REMOVE CLOTHES
PROMPTLY—To help prevent wrinkling, remove clothes from the dryer promptly at the end of the drying cycles.
The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying
Automatic Drying
When using the Automatic Cycles, the dryer continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps the air cool. When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warm enough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when the heat is

Timed Drying
When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period.

HOW TO LOAD THE CLOTHES
Don’t overload your dryer. Crowded loads don’t dry efficiently and clothes may be unnecessarily wrinkled. Loads should look like this:

If you need to change the hinges from the left side to the right side, follow these same instructions (merely reverse all references to the left and right).
Dryer Door
1. Open the door and remove the filler plugs from
the side of the opening without hinges. Use a tipped putty knife to pry plugs loose and then gently remove plugs with a pair of needle-nosed pliers.
2. With the door completely open, remove the bottom screw from each hinge on the dryer face.
3. Insert these screws about half way into the top holes, for each hinge, on the opposite side (where filler plugs were removed). Apply firm pressure to get screw started in untapped holes.
4. Loosen the top screw from each hinge on the dryer face half way.
5. With one hand holding the top
of the door and the other hand holding the bottom, remove the door from the dryer by lifting it up and out.

SHR~WGE, GENEW
Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed
by hand and drip dried; others maybe safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow garment manufacturers’ care labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Relaxation shrinkage can
occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may be pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.
Progressive or delayed shrinkage is
caused when starch or
siting
(in some fabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for relaxation shrinkage above.
Shrinkage caused by overheating
occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
