Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.

2.Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.

3.Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space between items, but do not let items hang over the sides or through the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the drying rack.

4.Select Timed Dry. Use only the Air Fluff/No Heat option for items containing plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down.

5.When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint screen is not in place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.
