/=-

When you are unable to remove a bad

from the dryer as soon as it stops,

wrinkles ten form. FINISH GUARD

tumbles the bad, without heat, every 5

minutes for up to 40 minutes. This

tumbling rearranges and fluffs the bad

to help avoid wrinkles that set in when

the bad remains in the drum.

You do not have to set the Cycle

Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

FINISH GUARD takes over automati-

cally to proted the bad if you do not

open the door within 5 minutes after

the PERMANENT PRESS cycle stops.

A signal will sound every 5 minutes

during FINISH GUARD, for up to 40

minutes. The signal will stop when the

dryer door is opened.

End-of-cycle signal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you

know when the cycle is finished. The

signal cannot be turned off and is not

adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are

drying permanent press, synthetics

and other items that should be taken

out as soon as the dryer stops.

Using the drying rack

(models LE9200XW and LG9201 XW)

The drying rack lets you dry items that

you may not want to tumble. The rack

does not move, but the drum turns.

Make sure nothing hangs over the

edge of the rack.

1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indent-

ations in the back wall of the dryer.

2. Lower the front so the legs rest on

the dryer opening.

3. Put wet items on top of the rack

Leave space between them so air

can reach all surfaces.

4. Close the door and start the dryer.

See below for suggested cycles

and temperature settings when

using the drying rack.

NOTE: The rack must be removed for

normal tumble drying.

CaringForYourDryer

Product and Fabric Damage Hazard

Do not run the dryer wlth the llnt screen loose,

damaged, blocked or mlsslng. Dolng so can

cause overheating and damage to both the

dryer and fabrics.

Cleaning the lint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid

on top of the dryer. Clean it before

each load. A screen blocked by lint

can increase drying time.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash the

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is

hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lid.

Lint screen maintenance

Laundry detergents and fabric

softeners can cause a residue build-up

on the lint screen. A clogged lint

screen can extend drying times. Clean

the lint screen every six months or

more frequently il it becomes clogged

due to a residue build-up. Use the

following method:

1. Wet both sides of lint screen with

hot water.

2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water

and liquid detergent.

3. Scrub lint screen with the brush

until all residue build-up is re-

moved.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a

clean towel and replace in dryer.
