Drying Rack
The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not

(for example, sweaters). The drying rack can be used only with
the Dry Rack cycle. During this cycle, the dryer drum will not
rotate.
To use the drying rack
1. Open dryer door.
2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire
on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on
front feet of drying rack, at the same time, aligning the locator
tabs with the locator indentations in the dryer drum.
3. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between
the items so air can reach all the surfaces.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
4. Close the door.
5. Select Dry Rack cycle. Items containing foam, rubber or
plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using the Air Only
temperature setting.
6. You must select a time by pressing the MANUAL DRY TIME
(- or +) buttons. Reset time as needed to complete drying.
Refer to the following table.
7. Press and hold START button (about 1 second).
NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use
automatic cycles with the drying rack.
This chart shows examples of items that can be rack dried and
the suggested temperature setting and drying time. Actual drying
time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.
