LOADING THE DRYER
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 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.
• 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 to 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
The CHECK FILTER indicator will light before
each load to remind you to make sure
the lint filter is clean before starting a
new load. It will also come on during
a load if the lint filter is clogged to let
you know that the lint filter needs to be cleaned;
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 "Care and 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 may damage the
dryer and articles in the dryer.
