ADDITIONAL FEATURES

USING THE DRYING RACK
To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, follow the instructions
included in your dryer drum. Remove and discard any
packing material before use.
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to
tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you
use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack
remains stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/
Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used
with Automatic cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.
1. Open dryer door.
2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with
the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully
into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.
3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space
around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does
not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave
enough room between items and the inside of the dryer
drum. Make sure items do not hang over the edges or
between drying rack grille.
4. Close the door.
5. Select a Timed Dry/Air Only, or Low Temperature cycle.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting.

Remaining display shows the default time. You can
change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or
decreasing the cycle time.

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack
after the cycle is finished.

concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
