Press the Wrinkle Guard ON button to enable the Wrinkle Guard II feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Guard II feature is on if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

Drying Rack (Optional)
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, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys). If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by contacting 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 legs to rest on the dryer opening.

Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending on the type of fabrics being dried.
Delicates
