Drying Procedures

• Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.

• Read the Operating Instructions card for operating your specific model.

• Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product labels.

Safety Instructions, page

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read Important

1. Prepare items 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. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out.

• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish.

Close zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

• If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.

• Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer heat may

permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process before drying.

• Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy removal.

2, before operating this dryer.

Note: The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

Place small items in a mesh bag.

Fill dryer drum 1/3 to 1/2 full.

Place the front bar under

the lip of the lint screen opening.

2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.

3. Load the dryer.

• The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for

even drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload dryer.

• When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items.

• For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.

• Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.

• If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.

4. Close the dryer door and select the cycle, temperature, dryness level and options desired. See Operating Instructions for your specific model information.

5. Press START to begin the cycle.

• To add or remove items when the dryer is running open the door. The dryer will stop when the door is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside.

Reversible Dryer Door

Your dryer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can be hinged on the right or left side. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for directions on changing the door.

Drying Rack (some models)

Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.

1. Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.

2. Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.

3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space between items, but do not let items hang over the sides or through the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the drying rack.

4. Select Timed Dry. Use only the Air Fluff/No Heat option for items containing plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down.
