Whirlpool DRYERS Clothes Dryer User Manual


 
Using the drying rack
(on some models)
The drying rack lets you dry items that you may
not want to tumble. The rack does not move, but
the drum turns.
1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indentations in the
back wall of the dryer.
2. Lower the front so the legs rest on the dryer
opening.
3. Put wet items on top of the rack. Leave space
between them so air can reach all surfaces.
NOTE: Make sure nothing hangs over the
edge of the rack.
4. Close the door.
5. Select the Timed Drying cycle (and tempera-
ture) or the Air cycle and push the Start Button
See chart below for suggested cycles and
settings.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal
tumbling.
Fire Hazard
Do not dry plastic, rubber or other heat-
sensitive materials with heat. Use the Air
cycle.
Failure to do so could result in fire or
damaged items.
