Sort and Load the Clothes  
Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer.  
Generally, if clothes are sorted right for washing,  
they’re sorted right for drying. See the How to Sort  
the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of  
fabrics in your load, set the controls for the  
weight fabrics and remove when dry. Reset controls  
for the remaining heavier fabrics.  
Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used.  
Always be sure the lint filter is in place. Don’t use  
the dryer without it. See the Care and Cleaning section.
