moisture sensing

bars

Place items to be dried on top of the rack, leaving space between items and not allowing them to hang over the sides or through the holes. The weight should not exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg). Select the air (no heat) setting for items containing plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down.

When items are dry, remove the rack and store it in a conve- nient location.

Care and Cleaning

- FIRE HAZARD - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust open- ing and remove any accumulation of lint around the opening and in the surrounding area.

Clean the lint filter after

every load.

To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.

•Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

•Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Haz- ardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

INSIDE

•Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.

•Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

•If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.

•Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
