like you do for washing. Check for stains that have not been removed
in washing. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. Properly

ble freely for even drying and less wrinkling. If you overload the dryer, you
may cause damage to motor because it will not handle overloads and the
dryer may not start at all. You may have to remove some portion of clothes
and dry that separately. Your clothes may be wrinkled and take long time to

English13•Lint filter needs to be cleaned before and after each use for 
your unit to operate at optimum efficiency. The filter can be slid out, 
by pulling on the tab located on the inside of the dryer door. The filter
may be washed or vacummed. Remove the excess water from the filter
by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped
in the filter. Lint build-up in screen restricts air flow, which causes 
longer drying times. After cleaning, slide the filter back in place.

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe 
operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions
can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.WARNING1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up
inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air
flow will increase dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure...

and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
