Optional Drying Rack (some models)
Drying Rack, Part No. 504105, is useful for drying items that require no-tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters, stuffed toys or other delicate items.

Drying Times

It is impossible to give exact drying times. Conditions from home to home vary and directly affect drying times. The length of time it takes to dry loads will depend on several variables. � � Load size Type of fabric, washer, and spin speed will determine moisture in the fabric. Heat and moisture in the room. Damp air coming into the dryer will increase drying time. Installation (length of exhaust duct, etc.). Electric voltage or gas pressure.

General Dryer Care

Drying Rack

Cleaning � Ordinarily, dryer cylinder will need no care. � Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet. � Do not allow sharp or rough objects to lean against the dryer. The finish could be damaged. � Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel. Lint Filter Clean lint filter after drying each load. A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying and clothes will remain lint-free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the screen will reduce air flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint screen may be washed with soap and water if needed. Lubrication All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary. Exhaust System � The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as required thereafter. � The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against them. � Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. � Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (gas dryers) and ventilation air.

If you have an automatic cycle, you need not worry about time. The automatic cycle will determine the time needed. Set the timer for the type of fabric in the load. See the operating instructions provided with your dryer. Do not set the timer for a �higher� setting than necessary. If you have a permanent press, knit cycle, use it for loads of permanent press, knits and for clothes made from or containing synthetic fibers. This cycle has a longer COOL DOWN period at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling.
