CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE LINTFILTER
The wear on fabrics in a tumble dryer is insignificant. The
lint caught in the lint filter is dust and fiber residue that has
been formed when the garments have been worn. The lint
filter must be cleaned after each load. If this is not done,
drying performance will suffer, as insufficient air will pass
through the drum. The machine may also overheat after
a while, which will cause it to stop automatically.
To clean the lint filter, follow the steps below:
1.
Grasp the handle and pull it toward you.
2.
Remove the filter from the holder.
3.
Open the filter and
gently brush away any
lint.
4.
Fold the filter together
and return it to the
holder on the door.
5.
Push the holder in
until it snaps into
place.
CLEANING THE FAN
The fan should be cleaned at least once a year. If you
have pets, you should clean it more often. To clean the
fan, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the main power to the machine.
2. Remove the two 20 torx
screws on the bottom of the
front panel then grasp the
bottom of the panel and pull
it forward and down.
3. Unscrew the 10 torx safety
screw on the bottom of the
fan cover and fold out the four
tabs.
4. Remove the fan cover.
5. Hold the fan in place while
you unscrew the nut.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp
(not wet) cloth. To prevent penetration of water into
the door lock and electrical components, never spray
water or cleaning solvent of any kind on the control
panel.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on
the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish and
possibly remove the writing on the control panels. Some
paper towels may also scratch the finish.
CLEANING THE EXHAUSTDUCT
About once a year you should remove the exhaust duct
and clean it. At this time, you should also clean the
exhaust outlet on the machine and the ventilation duct.
Periodically, you should check the dryer exhaust outside
to be sure the air fiow is strong and nothing is blocking
the vent.
6. Pull out the fan and clean it with
a brush and water.
7. Replace the fan and screw
the nut securely.
8. Replace the fan cover and
fold the lugs back into place.
Replace the safety screw.
9. Replacethefrontpanel.
10. Turn back on the main power.
