Drying Rack (select models)

For boots, sneakers, fragile sweaters, afghans, nylon stockings – any items that might be damaged by tum- bling – use the removable drying rack.

To use the rack:

1)Position L-shaped legs against round inset at back of dryer.

2)Rest the two front legs on either side of the lint screen.

3)Check to see that the rack is securely in position.

4)Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Allow space for air to circulate. Items should not hang over the edge, between the supports, or touch any other part of dryer. NOTE: The rack does not move, but the drum rotates around the rack.

5)Close dryer door.

6)Use TIMED DRY CYCLE. Select temperature regu- lar, medium, low or air fluff, depending on the item.

7)Some items may need to be rotated from front to back or refolded to dry inner layers – check periodi- cally.

8)To remove rack, simply grasp sides with hands and lift out.

Note: Do not place hands in dryer while drum is rotating.

Before You Call

Check the following if your clothes dryer...

Doesn’t Run

Be sure the door is shut.

Is the electrical cord plugged in?

Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?

Push the Control dial in again if the door was opened during the cycle.

Doesn’t Heat

Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?

Select a heat setting, not air fluff.

Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.

Doesn’t Dry Properly

Check all of the above, plus . . .

Check the exhaust hood outside the house, does it open and close freely?

Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

Use rigid 4” metal exhaust duct.

Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.

Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.

Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

Is Noisy

Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.

The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.

Control Knob Advances Slowly

This is normal operation for an Auto Dry cycle, especially at the beginning of cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in the load. As the load becomes more dry, the control knob will advance more quickly.
