Drying guidelines

STEP 1 Sort

• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
• Wash and dry dark-colored items separately from light-colored items.
• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
• Avoid drying unwashed items
• Do not dry wet items that have not been fully spin-dried after washing. This could cause an odor inside the dryer or cause the dryer to malfunction.
• Using a laundry net is recommended for baby socks and other small, light items.

STEP 2 Empty pockets and turn them inside out

• Turn dark-colored clothes inside out before drying them. This will prevent fabric damage due to friction during the drying process and protect internal parts of the dryer from discoloration and damage.
• Turn the items with buttons or embroideries inside out before drying them.

CAUTION

• Empty the pockets. Metallic objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.
• Remove any metallic objects attached to items, pull up zippers, and latch hooks before drying. Metallic objects attached to items may damage other items as well as the drum.

STEP 3 Check the lint filter

Ensure that the lint filter is installed correctly before putting items in the dryer. The dryer does not work without the lint filter.

Always clean the lint filter before drying.

STEP 4 Determine the load capacity

Do not overload the dryer. Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.

• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• 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. Tangled items may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open.

CAUTION: Add or remove items into or from the dryer with the lint filter installed. If the filter is not in place, small items can fall into the filter slot and cause the dryer to malfunction.

STEP 5 After finishing the drying

• Empty the water tank to prevent leaks.
• If the “Clean heat exchanger” message appears on the display.
• Keep the dryer door and the heat exchanger cover open after finishing the drying to keep the inside of the dryer more hygienic.
