Energy Saving Tips

* Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the

dryer correctly.

* Sort laundry properly and select proper

temperature and cycle settings. Choose the
Automatic Dry cycle whenever possible for

accurate drying time.
Dry only full loads. Single items and small
loads usually take longer to dry.

* Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a

partially dry load, and overdrying.

* Dry one load after another to take

advantage of a warm dryer.
Opening the door needlessly causeswarm
air to escape,which prolongs drying time.
If possible, usethe dryer on low humidity
days.

* Install the dryer in an area where the room

temperature is at least 45% (7°C).
