Drying Rack (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, sweaters).
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase
one. For ordering information, please refer to the “Assistance or
Service” page of this manual. You may also contact 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 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.
4.
Push the START button.
NOTE:
The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
This chart shows examples of items that can be rack-dried and
the suggested cycle, temperature setting, and drying time. Actual
drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.
*(Minutes). 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.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Clean it 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.
■
Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural fibers
(polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other
towels, causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up faster. Be
sure to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying
new towels.
■
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Checking Your
Vent.”
