Optional Drying Rack
Select dryer models are equipped with a drying rack.
The drying rack is useful for drying items that require
no tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters,
stuffed toys or other delicate items.
Note
• Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place.
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
Load the Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry
differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy
clothes may be damp.
• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only
one or two articles need drying. This improves the
tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.
Note
• The Drying Rack, part no. 504105, is available
when not included with your dryer. See your dealer
or call 1-877-232-6771 to order.
