Drying Rack

(Optional on some models)

Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows

without tumbling. The drum turns, but the drying rack does not

move.

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.

NOTE: The drying rack must be removed for normal tumbling.
To use the drying rack
1.
Place drying rack in dryer.

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 wet items on top of drying rack, leaving space between

items. Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the drying

rack. Close the door.

3. Select a Timed Dry 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. Refer to the following

table.

4. Start the dryer. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this dryer.

This guide covers several different models. Your dryer may not

have all of the cycles and features described.

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to

remove dust from storing and shipping.

1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint

Screen.”

2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do

not pack the dryer. For best results, allow space for clothes

to tumble freely.

3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle

for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting to dry most heavy to medium-weight

fabrics.

4. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the

recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried.

See “Cycle Guide” for temperature suggestions. On some

models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.

5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a Wrinkle Shield™ feature

selector. Use this to avoid wrinkling when you are unable to

remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops.

6. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal.

The signal is helpful when drying items that should be

removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
The End of Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is

selectable. Turn the Start button to ON or OFF. The signal will

sound only if the selector is set to On.

7. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package

instructions.

8. Push the Start button or knob.

Stopping and Restarting

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when

the dryer is not in use.
