DRYING RACK OPTION

Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.

If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.

To use the drying rack

1.Place drying rack in dryer.

Style 1: Your drying rack has front legs. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.

Style 2: Your drying rack does not have front legs. Do not remove the lint screen. Slide drying rack over the bottom of the dryer door opening. Push down to secure rack on frame.

2.Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items. Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close the door.

3.Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following table.

4.Start the dryer. 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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

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

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

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

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Clean 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 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.
