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.
To Remove Rack:
1. Open dryer door.
2. Lift rack straight up
and out.
*Warning: When drying foam rubber, plastic,
or rubber with heat, it is possible they will
suffer damage and could lead to a fire haz-
ard.
