• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load.With
some loads that produce
high amounts
of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during
the cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers
(i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should
be
dried separately
from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
• See the Excess static in clothes after drying
section below.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly
before washing and drying clothes.
. Load is not properly
sorted.
. Large load of heavy fabrics.
. Use a fabric
softener

static electricity
correctly.
Do not use fabric
softeners
or products
to eliminate
static unless recommended
by the
manufacturer
of the fabric softener
or product.
. Overdrying
a load of laundry
can cause a buildup
of static electricity.

. Separate
heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier
items take
longer
to dry.
. Heavy fabrics take longer
to dry because
they tend to retain more
moisture.
To help reduce
and maintain
more consistent
drying
times for large and heavy
fabrics,
separate
these items into smaller
loads of a consistent
size.
. Use the appropriate
control
settings
for the type of load you are drying.
. Make sure the lint filter is cleaned
before every load. With some loads that
produce
high amounts
of lint, it may be necessary
to clean the filter during
the
cycle.

is properly
configured
and free of debris,
lint, and obstructions.
Make sure that outside
wall dampers

problem
is a circuit
overload,
have it corrected

electrician.
. Divide

loads for drying.
. If you are drying
a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure
proper
tumbling
action.
. Overdrying
a load of laundry
can lead to wrinkled
clothes.Try
a shorter
drying
time, and remove
items while
they still retain a slight amount
of moisture.
. Remove
items from the dryer
immediately
at the end of the cycle. Use the
WRINKLE CARE option
to continue
tumbling
clothes
at the end of the cycle, for
up to 3 hours.
. To avoid
shrinkage,
please carefully
follow
the fabric care instructions
for
your garment,
because
some fabrics
will naturally
shrink when washed.
Other
fabrics
can be washed
but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no
heat setting.
