Drying Rack
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, pillows, stuffed toys). If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase one. For ordering information, please refer to the �Assistance or Service� section in this manual or by contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. To use the drying rack 1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front pegs to rest on the dryer opening.

Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes and large loads that require a long drying time. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat or to a setting that matches the care label directions. Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that require a short drying time. Set the Temperature selector if available, to Low heat.

NOTE: On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections. Drying time and temperature will depend on your dryer model.

Heavy Dry
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items, such as thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat.

Damp Dry
Select this setting to dry items to a damp level or dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothes (to make pressing easier). Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat.

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 a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. 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.
