Tip #1: If your unit has the functionalitly, use the "Sensor Dry" mode to prevent over-drying clothes.

Tip #2: Designate one day per week as "laundry day" and string loads one after another to maximize heat usage left over from previous loads.

Tip #3: Make sure your dryer is located in a warm area. If your dryer is in a warmer area in the house there will be less energy required to gernerate heat.
