Grouping similar items
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.
Loading the Dryer

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 can 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 can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
NOTE
Loading tips
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble
dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.

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 times.
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.
Using the Lid
Under the lid are two small storage spaces. Use one
space to store laundry manuals. Use the other space to:
• store items removed from pockets while sorting
laundry
• store odd socks until matches are found
• safely store phone or keys while sorting or folding
laundry on lid
To open the lid, lift it upwards.
NOTE
Do not attempt to lift the lid open more than 45
degrees.
