purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model
allows drying rack usage and for more information on ordering,
please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer
from whom you purchased your dryer.

not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.

DRYER CARE
¢ !
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of ventilation air.
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.
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A
screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with
your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet
lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
