DRYER RACK

The drying rack allows you to dry items that you don’t want to tumble dry; for example, sneakers, washable sweaters, stuffed toys or pillows, etc.

The rack remains stationary, but the drum rotates. (Make sure nothing hangs over the edges of the rack.)

To Use Rack:

1.Open dryer door.

2.Position drying rack in tumbler with the two extension wires toward you. These wires will brace the rack against the front

surface of the tumbler. Legs will rest on front ledge and at back of drum.

3.Place wet items on the rack, leaving space between them so air can reach all surfaces.

4.Close dryer door.

5.Use the Time Dry cycle. Select time according to moisture and weight of item. Push the Start button. It may be necessary to reset the timer if a longer drying time is needed.
