Loading your
Dryer
For best drying results and energy
savings, sort dryer loads oarefully.
Separate loads acoording to
the type of fabric and weight. For
example
• D
p / heavy fabrics (denims, fowels,
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 fabrics.
Allow room for items to tumble
freely. The load will dn/ faster with fewer
wrinkles
When drying permanent press,
dry smaller-than-normal loads for the
best wrinkle removal.
Use a mesh bog to hold small
items suoh as baby socks
Read the Dryer Guide for more
hints on sorting and loading.
Understanding
your Dryer
Your dryer has five cycles. The
EXTRA HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and
LIGHT Cycles are designed to tumble
laundry for
a certain length of
time.,.depehdihg on the load. You
select the dn/ing temperature you want.
In all these cycles, the heat shuts
off 5 minutes before the dryer stops
tumbling. This helps cool down the load
The cool-down time is built in so
the lauhdry will not be too hot when the
dryer stops tumbling
1, When a load of hot laundry is
not tumbling, wrinkles can set in.
2. A load of hot lauhdry can
be too hot to handle comfortably.
The other cycle is PERMANENT
PRESS, This cycle has a longer cool­
down time at the end. This extra time is
designed to give permanent press fab­
rics the extra wrinkle protection they
need
This Use & Care Guide cohtaihs
suggestions on the way to use your dryer
to get the best results and longest useful
life from your dryer. Please read't
carefully.
Lint Screen
The lint screen is under the lid on
top of the dryer.
Clean the lint screen before each
load. A screen that's blocked by lint
can cause longer drying times.
CAUTION: Do not operate
the dryer with the lint screen
removed or ni>t securely in
place as it may cause over­
heating, possible damage
to fabrics and dryer parts or
create a fire hazard.
To remove the screen, open the
id and pull the screen straight out. Roll
the lint off the screeh 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
