Drying Rack
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys). If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase one. For ordering information, please refer to the �Assistance or Service� page of this manual. You may also contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. To use the drying rack 1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Clean it before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. To clean 1. Pull the lint screen towards you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door. NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. 3. Select a timed drying 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. 4. Push the START button. NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack. This chart shows examples of items that can be rack-dried and the suggested cycle, temperature setting, and drying time. Actual drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT: s Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other towels, causing your dryer�s lint screen to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying new towels. If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See �Checking Your Vent.�

As needed cleaning
Timed Low 60 Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
