Additional Features

You can select one of the following options to help ensure the best fabric care for your load.

WRINKLE SHIELDPlus setting

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus setting periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.

The WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus setting periodically tumbles the load without heat for up to 120 minutes. A signal will sound periodically when WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus setting is on, if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the cycle will end when you open the dryer door, or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

Turn the knob to select a Softer or Louder signal or to turn the End of Cycle Signal Off.

Drying Rack (Optional purchase)

You can order a drying rack by contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

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

To use 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 the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.

NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.

3.Select the Timed Drying cycle and the Air Only temperature setting. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle.

4.Push the START button.

NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.

This chart shows examples of items that can be rack dried and the suggested cycle, temperature setting, and drying time. Actual drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.
