Drying Rack Option
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model
allows drying rack usage and for ordering information, please
refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from
whom you purchased your dryer.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
To use the drying rack
Do not remove the lint screen.
1. Open dryer door.
2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire
on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on
front edge of drying rack to secure over the lint screen.
3. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between
the items so air can reach all the surfaces.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the POWER button.
6. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature (see following
chart). Items containing foam, rubber or plastic must be dried
