How to use a Drying rack for LG dryer

More usage tips
Among the things that you should keep in mind are:
- Be keen to never use the rack while clothes are tumbling in the tub.
- Remember not to overlap items that need to be dried on the rack as much as you can-as it could reduce drying performance.
- To avoid damage to your clothes, sneakers, or any other fabric you might be drying, make sure the garments are completely on the rack. Otherwise, the rotating drum could damage them.
- If your LG dryer did not come with rack dry cycle, you can choose another low-temperature setting(you certainly do not want your items to overheat -they can because they’re not tumbling-so use lower temperature options only.
