Drying Rack (optional)
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys).
If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by
contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.
To use the drying rack
1. 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 the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between
the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
3. Select cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your
load. Items containing foam, rubber or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
4. Press Start. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
*(Minutes). 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 the 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
1. The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Pull the lint
screen toward you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to
remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
As needed cleaning
1. Roll lint off screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Insert lint
screen back into dryer.
