Drying Rack Option
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows
drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please refer to
the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your dryer.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
To use the drying rack
1. Place drying rack in dryer.
Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items.
Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close
the door.
3. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a
clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
4. Start the dryer. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
■
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint.
Every Load Cleaning
