cord
for use
in a

Drying tsime
depends on
size
and
type of load,
suffi-
cient
voltage, and
an
adequate
air supply,
both
intake and exhaust.
For
efficient
operation,
the dryer
should be
operated on a circuit

When
the
motor is energized,
the drum
rotaCes
and the blower
starts.
Air is
drawn in
through
the
rear
panel
rouvers,
top
and bottom,
across
the
heating
elerent
and
into
the drum.
All
air must then
pass
through
the
lint filter,
down
and
out
the
exhaust
duct.
NCIE:
A clogged
lint filter
or exhaust
system will
decrease
air flow
and increase
drying
time.
The filter
should
be
cleaned
after
each
load
is
dried.
