DRYING CABINET USE
■ Do not overload the drying cabinet. This causes wrinkling and
uneven drying.
■ To prevent dye transfer, allow extra spacing between
noncolorfast items.
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.”
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
Loading
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.
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.
