Drying Rack Option

The drying rack is useful for 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 be able to

purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model

allows drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please

refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from

whom you purchased your dryer.

To use the drying rack

Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire

on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on

front edge of drying rack to secure over the lint screen.

rack.

DRYER CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the

flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor

for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The

control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint

screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
