neglect to clean your lint screen, the signal will

sound. The (whistle tone] signal lets you know

reduces drying efficiency.

shown on page 10.

example, sneakers, stuffed toys, knitted wool, etc.

The rack does not move, but the drum turns. Make sure nothing hangs

over the edges of the rack.

Fit rear legs of the rack into indents

in back wall of dryer.
