How Automatic Dry/ACCUDRY Cycle Works
During the Automatic Drying Cycle/ACCUDRY cycle, the
exhaust temperature of the dryer determines the drying time and
dryness levels. A thermostat signals the Cycle Control Knob when
to move into Cool Down. The drying time for an Automatic Drying
Cycle/ACCUDRY cycle depends on load type and load size.
When drying a large or heavy load, the Cycle Control Knob may
take a long time before it begins to advance into Cool Down.
Automatic Drying Cycle/ACCUDRY cycle takes the guesswork
out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The amount of time
that is displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.
Drying Rack
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
To use the drying rack
1. Place drying rack in dryer.
Style 1: Your drying rack has front legs. Slide rear pegs into
the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs
to rest on the dryer opening.
Style 2: Your drying rack does not have front legs. Do not
remove the lint screen. Slide drying rack over the bottom of
the dryer door opening. Push down to secure rack on frame.
2. Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items.
Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close
the door.
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. Refer to the following
table.
4. Start the dryer. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
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.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint.
Every Load Cleaning
Style 1:
1. The lint screen is located on top of the dryer. Pull the lint
screen toward 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. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
