product is recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust,
and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualied
service personnel.
• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle
that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See
the installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil
or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signicant amounts
of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.
Sort and load
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a
time.
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items
together.
• To improve drying efciency for one or
two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items before
inserting them into the dryer.
Before you start
Functional prerequisite
Lint lter
• Overloading reduces the tumbling
action, resulting in uneven drying and
wrinkling.
• Unless recommended on the care label,
do not dry woolens or berglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol,
gasoline, etc.
To prevent a risk of re, make sure to
clean the lint lter before or after every
load.
1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Open the door, and pull out the lint
lter (A) from inside the tumbler.
3. Remove the lint that has accumulated,
and then clean the lint lter.
4. Reinsert the lint lter, and then close
