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.
Drying Rack
Using the Drying Rack
The drying rack allows you to dry items that you don’t want to tumble dry; for example, sneakers, washable sweaters, stuffed toys or pillows, etc.
The rack remains stationary, but the drum rotates. (Make sure nothing hangs over the edges of the rack.)
To Use Rack:
1)Open dryer door.
2)Position drying rack in tumbler with the two extension wires toward you. These wires will brace the rack against the front surface of the tumbler. Legs will rest on front ledge and at back of drum.
3)Place wet items on the rack, leaving space between them so air can reach all surfaces.
4)Close dryer door.
5)Use the Time Dry cycle or use Auto Dry Whites/ Colours Fabrics cycle. Select time according to moisture and weight of item. Pull the control dial out and hold briefly to start the dryer. It may be necessary to reset the controls if a longer drying time is needed.
To Remove Rack:
1)Open dryer door.
2)Lift rack straight up and out.
