Before you start

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.

Sort and load

• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
• To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer.
• Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling and longer drying time.
• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.

Functional prerequisite

Lint filter

To prevent a risk of fire, make sure to clean the lint filter before or after every load.

1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Open the door, and pull out the lint filter (A) from inside the tumbler.
3. Remove the lint that has accumulated, and then clean the lint filter.
4. Reinsert the lint filter, and then close the door.

CAUTION

• Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
• Do not use a damaged or broken lint filter. This may reduce performance and/ or cause a fire.
