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 if your model allows drying rack usage and for ordering information, please refer to the front page of your 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.

1.Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2.Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items. Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close the door.
3.Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following table.
