Important Safetylnstructions, pages2-4, beforeoperating this dryer.

1. Prepare items for drying.

• Dry items of similarfabric, weight andconstruction inthe 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.

3. Load the dryer.

• The averageloadwillfill thedrum 1/3to 1/2full. Itemsneedroom to tumble freely for evendrying and lesswrinkling. Do not overload dryer.

• When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at atime. Fillout 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 overd ry items. Overd rying can causewrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.

If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
