Drying Times
[t 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.
Optional Drying Rack
(some models)
Drying Rack, Part No. 504105, is useful for
drying items that require no-tumble drying,
such as tennis shoes, sweaters, stuffed '_
toys or other delicate items.
General Dryer Care
Drying Rack
Cleaning
• Ordinarily, dryer cylinder will need no care.
• Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing
products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immediately. Some
productswill cause permanent damage ifspilled 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 lintfilter after drying each load. Aclean lintfilter ensures efficientdrying
and clothes willremain lint-free when unloading dryer. A layer of linton the
screen will reduce air flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint
screen may be washed with soap and water if needed.
If you have an automatic cycle, you
need not worry about time. The
automatic cycle will determine the time
needed. Set the timer for the type of
fabric in the load. See the operating
instructions provided with your dryer.
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.
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.
