Operating Tips
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
Care & Cleaning
Load the Dryer Properly
•
Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will
dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while
heavy clothes may be damp.
• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when
only one or two articles need drying. This improves
the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of
some fabrics.
When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub-
stances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an
all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to
remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once
these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but
should not transfer to subsequent loads.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appli-
ance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum per-
formance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned
more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to
the Installation Instructions for more information.)
