Loading your
Dryer I--
For best dry!ng results and energy
savings, sort dryer loads carefully
Separate loads according to
the type of fabric and weight For
example
l Dry heavy fabrics (denims. towels.
cottons) separately from light fabrics
(permanent press synthetics)
0 Separate lint givers (towels, sweat-
shirts, etc ) from Iiqt takers (synthetics.
blends, permanent press)
l Keep dark colors and light colors
separate
l Keep colorfast items away from non-
colorfast fabrics
Allow room for items to tumble
freely The load WIII dry faster 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 ard loading
Understanding
your Dryer
Your dryer has five cycles The
EXTRA HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and
LIGHT Cycles ore designed to tumble
laundry for a certain length of
time depending on the load You
select the drying 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 laundry will not be too hot when the
dryer stops tumbling
1 When a load of hot laundry IS
not tumbllna, wrinkles can set In
2 A load o‘i hot laundry 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 fob-
rlcs the extra wrinkle protectlon they
need This Use & Core Guide contains
suggestions on the way to use your dryer
to get the best results and longest useful
life from your dryer Please read it
carefully
lint Screen
The lint screen ISunder the lid on
top of the dryer
C/eon the iint screen before each
iood A screen that’s blocked by lint
can cause longer drying times
To remove the screen, open the
l!d and pull the screen straight out. Roll
the lint 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
