OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Normal Operating Sounds You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer: A. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating Your Dryer WARNING 3 Load the dryer and close the door. • Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling. • If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle. • To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer. • When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time.
