Drying Clothes Rules and Safety Tips

Install a clean lint screen after each load to prevent fires and improve drying. Clean the drum monthly with a vacuum, remove lint via the lint catcher, and leave the door open to vent moisture.

Remove moist items promptly and inspect for sharp objects before drying.
