DryingRack(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.

DRYER CARE

CleaningtheDryerLocation

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 46 cm (18 inches) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

CleaningtheLintScreen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door of the dryer. Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean

1.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.

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. See “Checking Your Vent.”

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
