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. � � If you have an automatic cycle, you need not worry about time. The automatic cycle will determine the time needed. Here are some important items to remember: � In some models, the automatic cycle does not operate as a timed cycle. While using this feature, the cycle dial advances as the clothes dry. the dial may advance slowly or quickly depending on the moisture content of the clothes. � 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.

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.

How to Remove Ball Point Pen Ink Marks from the Dryer Drum

If the ink stain is fresh, place dry rags in the dryer. Using the hottest heat setting, run the dryer for one hour to absorb the ink. If the stain is not fresh, apply household spray or cream cleaner to a soft cloth, and rub the stain. Then, place wet rags in the dryer. Using the hottest heat setting, run the dryer for one hour to remove any cleaner residue.
