USING THE DRYING RACK
To purchase a drying rack for your dryer, see “Accessories”
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 Timed Dry cycle
only. The drying rack cannot be used with Sensor Cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.
1. Open dryer door.
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 cycle. Items containing foam, rubber,
or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using the
Air setting.
6. When the cycle is selected, the 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.
