USING THE DRYING RACK
To purchase a drying rack for your dryer, see “Accessories”
section for more information. You will need your model and
serial number and the purchase date. Remove and discard
any packing material before use.
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to tumble
dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you use the
drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack remains
stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/
Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used
with Automatic cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the lint screen.
1. Open dryer door.
2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with the
holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully into
holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.
3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space
around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does not
move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave adequate
clearance between items and the inside of the dryer drum.
Make sure items do not hang over the edges or between
drying rack grille.
4. Close the door.
5. Select a Timed Dry, or Low Temperature cycle. Items
containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a
clothesline.
6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time
Remaining display shows the default time. You can
change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or
decreasing the cycle time.
7. Start the dryer.
NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint
accumulated from items dried on the drying rack
after the cycle is finished.
DRYER CARE
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block
the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing
piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum:
1.
Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your
dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable
dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.
