IMPORTANT
Do not store or place laundry products on top of
dryer at any time. They can damage the fi nish or
controls.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the
dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could
occur.
INSIDE
• Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on the
fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying times.
The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door open-
ing. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and
replace the fi lter.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint fi lter
and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash
them with warm, soapy water. Dry the fi lter thoroughly
and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint
fi lter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast
fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liq-
uid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before
drying the next load.
• Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the
dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can
collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint
build-up could result in ineffi cient drying and possible fi re
hazard.
OUTSIDE
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use
harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlo-
rine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several
times with clear water.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with
the sticky side of the tape or label.
• When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with
ammonia or mild soap and water.
• Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or
thin fi berboard under the front leveling legs to prevent
damage to the fl oor.
