To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, order by calling  

1-877-944-7566. You will need your model and serial  

number and the purchase date. 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/

Time Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used with 

Automatic cycles.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen. 
1.  Open dryer door. 

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 

adequate clearance 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 Time 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. 

6.  When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time  

Remaining display shows the default time. You can 

change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or 

decreasing the cycle time. 

7.  Start the dryer. 
NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint  

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack  

after the cycle is finished. 

The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. 
Check Vent
  This indicator will show the status of airflow through the 

dryer for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the 

beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on  

if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light 

will stay on for the entire cycle, but will turn off at the end  

of the cycle. This feature is available during Automatic cycles 

only. For more information on maintaining good airflow, see 

“Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow.” 

 

NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the 

Check Vent indicator will not light up. See “Troubleshooting”  

section.

Efficiency Monitor
  The Efficiency Monitor allows you to see how the settings 

you select affect your energy usage within the cycle chosen.  

The Efficiency Monitor indicator may change, depending on 

the options and modifiers selected.

Wet
  The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.   
Cool Down
  The dryer has finished drying with heat, and is now tumbling 

the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.   

Done
  This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and  

the load may be removed from the dryer.
