35 OPERATION
Check the Lint Filter Before
Every Load
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting
a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying
time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll
any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly
back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more
information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be
dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and
some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For
best fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar
care requirements together.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters
or matches could ignite, causing a fire.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed
to oil, gasoline, or other flammable
substances. Washing clothes will not
completely remove oil residues. Failure to
obey this warning may result in fire, explosion,
or death.
NOTE
Loading Tips
• Combine large and small items in the same
load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to
tumble and dry properly.
• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes
with zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to
prevent them from catching on or tangling with
other clothes or damaging the lint filter.
