Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move. If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows drying rack usage and for ordering information, please refer to the front page of your manual or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack. To use the drying rack 1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening. 2. Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items. Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close the door. 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. Refer to the following table. 4.

This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described. Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping. 1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. 2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*) to dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics. 3. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See �Dryer Cycle Descriptions� (separate sheet) for temperature suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections. 4. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an EXTRA TUMBLE feature selector. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
