If you want to dry delicate items such as sweaters, pillows, sneakers, or stuffed animals in your dryer, using a dryer rack can prevent damage to these items. Additionally, dryer racks can speed up the drying process for clothes that are typically hung on a clothesline. Follow these instructions to properly install and use your dryer rack to avoid warping or ruining your delicate items.
Installation
Installing the Whirlpool Duet Dryer Rack is a simple process that only requires a few basic steps. Begin by opening the dryer door and placing the rack inside the drum. Ensure that the back wire of the rack is on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. To secure the rack in place, push the front edge down and secure it over the lint screen. Before placing items on the rack and beginning the drying process, double-check that the rack is properly and securely in place.
Usage
To dry your delicate items, place them on the dryer rack and close the door. Choose an air cycle or timed drying cycle and temperature based on the items you are drying. If necessary, adjust the drying time by pressing “More Time” or “Less Time.” When you are ready to begin the drying process, press and hold the “Hold to Start Button” for approximately one second. Once the drying process is complete, remove the dryer rack. Note that the dryer rack cannot be used for automatic cycles.
Using the Timed Dry Option
Wool sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows that are filled with cotton or polyester can be dried using the timed dry option. Dry these items for 60 minutes on low heat. If they are not fully dried after one hour, add more time until they are dry. When drying sweaters, lay them flat on the rack and shape them without overcrowding the rack. Squeeze out excess water before placing stuffed toys in the dryer, and fluff pillows every 20 minutes during drying to increase their fluffiness.
Do not use heat to dry foam rubber-filled stuffed toys, sneakers, or canvas shoes, as it can damage these items. Instead, select air only and dry for 90 minutes. Squeeze out excess water before placing stuffed toys in the dryer, and remove the insoles and laces from sneakers and canvas shoes before drying. Once dry, replace the insoles and laces. If any items are not fully dry after an hour and 30 minutes, add additional time until they are completely dry.
