Using the drying rack

(on some models)

The drying rack lets you dry items that you may not want to tumble. The rack does not move, but the drum turns.

1.Fit rear legs of the rack into indentations in the back wall of the dryer.

2.Lower the front so the legs rest on the dryer opening.

3.Put wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between them so air can reach all surfaces.

NOTE: Make sure nothing hangs over the edge of the rack.

4.Close the door.

5.Select the Timed Drying cycle (and tempera- ture) or the Air cycle and push the Start Button See chart below for suggested cycles and settings.

NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling.

Fire Hazard

Do not dry plastic, rubber or other heat- sensitive materials with heat. Use the Air cycle.

Failure to do so could result in fire or damaged items.
