Drying Rack Option

The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, sweaters).

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 information on ordering, please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.
