DRYING CABINET SAFETY

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

Tip Over Hazard

Drying cabinet is top heavy and tips easily when

not completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install

drying cabinet.

Failure to do so can result in serious injury

or cuts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the drying cabinet, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING:

■Read all instructions before using the drying cabinet.

■Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your

drying cabinet. Items contaminated with cooking

oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that

could cause a load to catch fire.

■Do not dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,

or explosive substances as they give off vapors

that could ignite or explode.

■Do not allow children to play on or in the drying

cabinet. Close supervision of children is necessary

when the drying cabinet is used near children.

■Before the drying cabinet is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the drying compart-

ment.

■Do not repair or replace any part of the drying cabinet

or attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-

mended in this Use and Care Guide or in published

user-repair instructions that you understand and have

the skills to carry out.

■Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber

or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

■Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,

dust, and dirt.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■The interior of the drying cabinet and exhaust vent

should be cleaned periodically by qualified service

personnel.

■See installation instructions for grounding require-

ments.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■Do not install or store the drying cabinet where it

will be exposed to the weather.

DRYING CABINET USE

Starting Your Drying Cabinet

The drying cabinet is used for flat or hang drying. The following is

a guide to starting your drying cabinet. Please refer to specific

sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. Place laundry in the drying cabinet and close the door. See

“Loading.”

2. Select the correct temperature setting and drying time for

your load. See “Cycles.”

3. Turn the TIME control knob to set a drying time up to 4 hours.

4. Press START.

Stopping Your Drying Cabinet

To stop your drying cabinet at any time:

Open the door and turn the TIME control knob to “0.”

Pausing or Restarting

To pause your drying cabinet at any time:

Open the door.

To restart your drying cabinet:

Close the door and press START.

NOTE: The drying cycle will continue from the point when the

cycle was interrupted. To cancel a cycle, turn the TIME control

knob back to “0.”

The drying cabinet contains 3 racks with built-in hangers. The

racks can be pulled out on rails to allow for easier loading and

hanging convenience. Slide the racks toward you to load, and

slide back after loading.

Loading suggestions

■Load the drying cabinet by the amount of space items take

up, not by their weight.

■For optimal performance, do not place flat-dry items on the

top rack.

■Longer items should be hung next to the walls and shorter

items in the middle. This will increase drying efficiency.

■Fold the lower 2 racks up flat against the back of the drying

cabinet to allow for longer items to be dried.

■Hang gloves, hats, scarves or other small flat items on the

racks located on the door.

■Slide the hanger attachments on the top rack forward to load

clothing on the hangers. Slide to the back of the rack when

not in use.

■Do not overload the drying cabinet. This causes wrinkling and

uneven drying.

■To prevent dye transfer, allow extra spacing between

noncolorfast items.

Standard loads consist of:

■2 flat-dry items

■up to 8 long hang-dry garments

■any combination of the two categories of items listed above

■items placed on the floor, such as boots

■flat items on the door racks, such as gloves and scarves

Airflow inside drying cabinet

Cycle and Drying Tips

Cycle tips

■Set controls for the most delicate fabric in the load.

■If you wish to extend the length of drying time, use the TIME

control knob to set more drying time.

■If you wish to change the cycle setting, set the CYCLE control

knob to a different setting.

Drying tips

■Follow the care label directions when they are available.

■Do not place fabric softener sheets in the drying cabinet.

■Remove items from the drying cabinet as soon as they are

dry. Doing this will help decrease the dry time for any

remaining damp garments.

■Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. Different

fabric types will tend to dry at different times.

■For best results, do not drape items over the top rack.

■Leave space between items to allow for unrestricted airflow

for even drying.

■Do not hang knit items. They may stretch from the weight of

the wet fabric.

■Some garments may show hanger lines.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are

drying.

Cycle Settings

NOTE: Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

DRYING CABINET CARE

Cleaning the Drying Cabinet Interior

■Clean the walls with mild, soapy solution and a damp cloth.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacation care

Operate your drying cabinet only when you are at home. If you

will be on vacation or not using your drying cabinet for an

extended period of time, you should:

■Unplug drying cabinet or disconnect power.

Moving care

1. Unplug drying cabinet or disconnect power.

2. Use masking tape to secure the drying cabinet door.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid

the cost of a service call...

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily

■Check the following:

Has a house fuse blown, or a house circuit breaker tripped?

Has an air cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for the

types of garments being dried. See “Cycles.”

■Is the drying cabinet located in a room with temperatures

below 32ºF (0ºC)?

Proper operation of drying cabinet cycles requires

temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC).

■Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?

Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water

and with items that hold moisture (cottons).

■Is the clothing loaded properly?

See “Loading.”

■Is the heat setting too low?

Check for correct heat setting for the type of garments being

dried.

■Is the venting too long?

Use heavy metal vent no longer than 3 ft. (91.4 cm).

Drying cabinet will not run

■Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged in?

Has a fuse blown, or has the circuit breaker tripped?

Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

Is the drying cabinet door firmly closed?

Was the START button firmly pressed?

Has the TIME control knob been set?
