Using the drying rack

Models KEYS777E and KGYS777E include a drying
rack. On models KEYS677E and KGYS677E, you
can order a drying rack by calling 1-800-422-1230,
from anywhere in the U.S.A. You will hear a record-
ing. Follow the instructions to place an order.

The drying rack lets you dry items without tumbling

them. The rack does not move, but the drum turns.

1.

Fit rear legs of the rack into spaces in the back

wall of the dryer.

 

Lower

the front so the legs rest
on the dryer opening.

2.

 Put wet items on top of the rack. Leave space

between the items
so air can reach all
surfaces.

See chart below for

suggested cycles and
settings for items that
might best be rack
dried. Drying time will
depend on amount of
moisture items hold.

NOTE:

 Make sure nothing hangs over the edge of

the rack.

3.

Close the door.

4.

 Select the Timed Dry cycle and temperature, or

the Air Tumble cycle.

5.

Push the Start Button.

NOTE:

 The rack must be removed for normal

tumbling. Automatic cycles do not work with the
drying rack.
