How to load the clothes

Don’t overload your dryer. Crowded loads don’t dry efficiently and clothes may be unnecessarily

wrintied.

Loads should look like this:

Clean the lint filter before drying every load.

Clean lint filter (see shaded area) by putting your moistened fingers at the corner of filter and wiping in a downward motion all the way across to the other corner.

For additional information on lint filter, see page 13.

●

Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slower-drying items. See page 8.

●

Do not overload dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need to tumble freely.

●

To help prevent ironing, use Knits/Low Heat. Remove garments promptly at end of drying cycle and place on hangers.

●

Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer will save energy.
