Loading your
Dryer
For best drying results and energy
savings, sort dryer loads carefully.
Separate loads according fo
the type of fabric and weight For
example:
• Dry heavy fabrics (denims, towels,
cottons] separately from light fabrics
(permanent press, synthetics/,
• Separate lint givers (towels, sweat
shirts, etc,) from lint takers (synthetics,
blends, permanent press)
• Keep dark colors and light colors
separate
• Keep colorfast items away from non
colorfast faPrics,
Allow room for items to tumble
freely The load will dry taster with fewer
wrinkles
When drying permanent press,
dry smaller-than-normal loads for the
best wrinkle removal
Use a mesh bag to hold small
items such as baby socks,
Read the Dryer Guide for more
hints on sorting and loading
Lint Screen
The lint screen is under the lid on
top of the dryer
Clean the lint screen betore each
load A screen that's blocked by lint
can cause longer drying times
To remove the screen, open the
lid door and pull the screen straight
out. Roll the tint off the screen with your
fingers. DO NOT rinse the screen or
wash it. Wet lint is hard to remove.
When replacing the screen, push
it firmly into place, Close the lid,
